Just wondering if anybody out there has endeavored to install foglights similar to what Audi is doing. Not sure if I want to try this, or get a HID foglight upgrade from our friend, Brabusw209amg.

It has been done I believe. Maybe Gene can help you out

But honestly, BMW has angle eyes, Audi has LED's. Let's keep it that way...just get HID fogs!

BMW is BMW, Audi is Audi. Don't try to use BMW to copy Audi. You want to have Budi

been discussed on this forum before, but just to reiterate, IT IS CRAP and does not belong on a BMW - I think that was the general concensus previously...

+1 The Angel Eyes (or Angle Eyes for Krozi) are a "signature look" (in design terms) of modern BMWs, and the LEDs have become a signature look of Audi's. It's so odd that people on Audi forums are trying to install angel eyes on their cars, and people on BMW forums are trying to install Audi's LEDs. Why? What next? Mercedes star on the hood/bonnet? Audi rings on the BMW kidneys?

It just dawned on me - Audi rings on the kidneys. And no one thought of it before? I'll be the first then to start the trend. Many will follow suit. It'll be a new movement
