[McKoval]

And how about post facelift fogs? Can one put led bulbs into them?

I couldn't answer that sorry, I'm unfamiliar with their style!

I had these. Right one has 68 and the left one 102 smd leds.

I bought a pair of these for my facelift fogs but they were to wide to fit in the holes

So I've purschased some of the Cree ones instead

OK I've popped one of the 11W LED fog bulbs in and taken a few pics...

Definitely whiter than the 'xenon superwhite' 55W bulb in the other side...

Only problem is that now the sidelights and fogs are whiter than the bloody factory xenon headlights!

So i bought some LED side lights off ebay, but managed to break them both when trying to fit....pretty sure i bought the wrong thing. Could one of you guys in the know post a link to the ones you used.

Much appreciated.

Yes I think I bought a similar pair. You can see the difference between the the original H11 and the LED type that do not fit. Theses are too short in length so beware if ordering. They were not to expensive so not a real problem.
Pity they didn't work!
Any body got a link for ones that do? as Marf83 was asking?

That one worked for me perfectly:

no error on the dash and fit in the hole. I also bought the 102 leds but they did not fit. I would have like more light output but this is the best I could fit in.

Don't expect amazing quality if you order from the same seller mate (Chinese quality control is very poor if it exists at all) but they do the job fine for the price. I forgot to mention that there are 3 metal "shoulders" at the back of the light and I had to cut 2 of them a little bit so that it can be secured in place. Took me around 5 mins for that. Another seller might have better quality LEDs but wherever you buy go for the 68 SMD LEDs.

i have smd ones, it was less than a £5 from china

Are they canbus ones? Thought the real cheap ones would throw up an error?

non of them are canbus (sidelights too) ,no error wither

Are these the 102 smd ones from China? Where they easy to fit? Seems to give a bright light... My led fogs aren't as bright as they should be :x

Gents, after reading this post I ordered some CREE LED's for my fog lights. They are VERY bright.

The missing part of this are photos for the little access door in the fender liner that is a pair of half-turn screws . Here are two photos. and this is the seller for $34 USD bmw_led

I bought the same leds than the starter of this thread.

Was easy to assemble but not succeed to adjust the lights. So went to the dealer and the anser was: "led foglights assembled - not able to adjust"

Does anyone knows what does that mean then???

 

[TestShoot]

ripatsu, I think there are adjustment screws on the back of the housing? If you look at my photo, you will see the light colored housing and two holes that appear to be missing what could be the adjustment screws. Without removing them to play around, I can't be certain.

The light output is nice to fill in the close range evenly and brightly. They don't project like say a conversion to HID would, but I am beyond pleased so I don't know how off your light's aim could be.

There are folks selling up to 80w H11 CREE bulbs. The ones listed in this thread are roughly 5w. Has anyone tried the high wattage ones? Have they melted the housings?
