Projector fog lights on facelift X5
 

I have successfully put them on my iS. Actually I swap them from my 3.0i.
Thanks to the post from TerminatorX5, I know they have the same mounting point as the newer reflective style. The problem is the air intake tube in the way on the right side. Here is how I did it, and it work :D

It's the hanger for the intake tube. I shake the tube after removing the pin and it's fine with the connections at both ends.
After that, you want to move the mounting tab behind the mounting point like so

Now the projector fog-light housing can puch the intake tube in a little bit to fit.
Cut out the connector and solder the correct one on, and shrink wrap it to prevent moisture/water from entering. I used the marine shrink tube which has glue inside to seal it when you heat it up.

The projector fog light fit perfectly.

Test and make sure it works before putting the cover back on

Night time output shots please! :)

^will do tonight, X5SND

a little bit of a difference, but much bigger when retrofitted..

Hi, I've a question for anyone who has put in aftermarket (DEPO brand) projector fogs.
I've bought 2 sets now (had to return first as quality was garbage) and this time around it seems its no different. Either set will not project light (HID bulbs, OR just an H3 bulb) properly. I've tried to adjust housing, screw, and even adjust the cut off beam plate but t no avail.
Anyone else experience the same?

how much are those DEPO lights?

OE lights from a dealer are about $100 for left and $100 for right... maybe it is worth getting the OE?

Term X, its about $80 for the pair for new... guess I get what I paid for tho

Need to add this to the todo list after exhaust and spacers, 200$ oe for projectors aint bad.

Looks good! Was interested on putting them on mine just didnt know if there was more work involved, looks like a simple swap from old to new though.

you have to change the connectors, or make a changeover harness from OE parts - neither is hard but you need to be at least 2 on the 1-10 scale of technical ability... you get the parts for the recepticle plug that will plug into the car's harness, and then you will get the plug housing that will plug into the projector lights.. I think RickyBobby came up with the harness - i just snipped off the original plugs and fitted the projector plugs i got from the dealer... all the part numbers are in their respective threads...

you have to be mindful of the airduct on the passenger side - do as TMV did, just wiggle it out of way...
