Mini aquarium? get it fixed. Take out the fog light, dismantle the metal parts, then wash the inside of the fog light with dish detergent with the help of a tooth brush, otherwise moss will develop in it real fast. Then let it dry under hot sun and fix it back...u will get a "newer" fog light then goodluck

Yeah, RM90 per piece only but not crystal type...just the normal type.
As for crystal type, I was quoted RM300 per pair new units (Made in Taiwan) too

On the subject of chopshops, where are the well-stocked ones for E36ers in the Klang Valley?

On the subject of chopshops, where are the well-stocked ones for E36ers in the Klang Valley?

There are various, however the price and quality differs from one to another. I have seen some half-cuts in some chopshops in Klang Valley, namely San Hin in Jln Chan Sow Lin, various in Puchong area (can't recall the names), Mun Lee Auto in Puchong, etc.

If you were to read through magazines like Motortrader, you will get to see a lot of those shops advertising

Goodluck

My e36 had a maintenance service last Monday, list as following: -

Brake Pads front - Textar - RM175.00
Fan clutch (2nd hand) - RM150.00
Idemitsu Lubes 5W-40 - RM97.00 * 2

Have a feeling that the 1st two items are a little too expensive, any views on this? Thanks.
