Unhappy H11 Hoen 55W Xenonmatch fog lights

Hey guys,

Just an fyi, these bulbs do not fit the 2006 X3. I ordered them hoping to match my Xenon's and no luck ( the wiring harness is different ). Waiting for a reply from Hoen.

I actually checked the fog bulbs on my aero kit and they are 9006. So ordered 9006 from Hoen and they fit fine.

Check what bulb type came stock with your X3. I know the manual says H11 but in my case it wasn't H11.

If you would have read my posts on Fog Lamps and Fog Lamp Base Problem you wouldn't have gone through the SAME thing that i did. I sent a E Mail to Hoen yesterday to see if they resolved the problem. No answer yet. Also called BMW for a part # 63-21-7-160-784
cheers

Hoen is fully aware of the problem with the 2006 X3s. They sent me the wrong bulbs at first just like what had happened to Vern. When they sent the second set they were right on the money. Pull your original bulbs out first and look at them before ordering.

Did the second set have 3 equally spaced notchs in the BASE and were they H11 55 watt xenonmatch?
