bro,
mine came without the front fogs osso.these are what you need:
1. a pair of fogs
2. fog light relay
3. fog light switch (yr current one must be replaced)
4. wiring harness

can't remember the price coz too long ago.

err....test pen...?i sure hope it's not the household 240vac test pen you're referring to...........

a stupid question... what does the relay do?... i really dont know...

anyway thanks again... ill go and find the 3-pos switch then...

Nonit to drop your steering but cuse some skills .......first remove the upper screws gently take out the meter and twist it through the steering(but work with original teering only) cant be done withe the sport or M5 steering becoz not enough space maaa...

2. Remove the steering out lo.....remove the BMW emblem inthe center and u will see the nut...is it nat or Nut ..or NUTS..!!!!! heh he....

Checking the wiring no need drop your steering ,just check out the ori switch socket near the frogs ,b coz there frogs area got 2/3 pair of socket ,search the pair socket ,wire color yellow n brown ,then the socket look in angle (wire conneted from side).then you dashboard switch to turn on the frogs n rear bonnet lamp are you changed ?You know how to use 12v DC test pen ,if you know easiear the job ,good try !
