Anyone endeavor to swap out their fogs on their 2011 E92/E93 M-sport?

If so, what did you go with/ how did you do it? I doubt it's the same as my 2009 coupe. The shitty halogen yellow color really clashes with the nice pure white LED angels, but I don't relish the idea of taking the whole bumper off for it either. Are the fogs 35w H8 or 55W Hx?

Thanks for your input!

I'm pretty sure the bulbs on LCI M sport are the same as pre? H11's. I did 6000K HID's on mine from Alpine. But I guess if I'm wrong on the LCI vs. pre-LCI, then that point it mute....

7k should be perfect for just the right amount of contrast. Better than those god awful ass stock bulbs. Wtf was BMW thinking?

True, but no matter what the color these things are pretty useless pisan... I can barely see past the bumper with them...might as well make em look halfway decent with the nice white LED angels

I'm also swapping out them ugly H3 corners with my mtec cosmo blue 4750ks- should look like 100 times better.

I didn't have to do anything but put it in...no errors/no problems with anything...the kit from Alpine is easy...no knowledge necessary..

I was gonna say this at the beginning but I wasn't for sure what you were asking.

I've done the GP Thunder thing. But these match up with my Mtech HID's perfect. And they are quite a bit brighter than "Regular."

I was worried about errors but this thread convinced me. Easy install and error free.

Mine is an '08. If anything...from what I've read, the earlier models are more prone to errors....
