What, and cover up my spoiler?!?

Seriously, thanks for the heads up. I hope that's a nationwide sale, I'll be down there tomorrow.

well i started to install them. just by glancing at the wiring and the diagrams it looks like its already in place (fuses and relays etc) and there are already holes and spaces (as you'll see in the picture) for the fog lights...BMW are just so prepaired hope to hook them up to the current fog light switch for the rear ones...which i am sure is very very posible.

why? law mandates that you turn off your high beam if any traffic approaches.

PJ-
The problem is that you are installing 100w Diving/spot lamps wired up as 55w Fog/flood lamps. If you are using those lamps, tyou need to wire them to burn with your high beams on, not your dipped beams. Otherwise, you'll blind oncomers no matter what beams your burning!!

Thanks for the heads up. I want them to run off the stock foglight switch (i dont want any ugly holes and switches in my dash) but still only work when the highs are on...or for them to work when the dipped beam is on but for them to run at 55w and then 100w when the high beam is on, thus being brighter if that makes any sence.

Let me study the wiring diagram and i'll see whats possible...

Umm, somehow I think that photo would be better in the light, or with the lights on. Kind of difficult to make anything out.

U should take a look at your fuse box.
