E39 - Upgrade your fog lights to HID Xenon

[whatheheck]

Here you go, for sharing.

(I actually did this mod about 3 years ago.)

Easy mod. Takes about 3 hours.

I purchased the HID kit in eBay. This brand/model triggers NO Fault light from the LCM. I hate fault messages on the OBD.

All connectors are plug and play.

I used 8000k. This has more of a blue tint but it matches my 8000K HID Xenon headlights.

You can attach the ballast behind the front bumper. I chose the brake ducts using pop rivets.

The new HID systems now uses Digital Ballast. I really dont know the difference but they are much smaller in size.

Great mod. Puts out a lot more light at low level.

Hope that helps some of you.

This is the best location for the HID fogs or on the bumper itself...
