Hello everybody,

Just looking at installing some LED foglights on my 2005 BMW 525i E60 and was wondering if any one had a step by step procedure or pictures/ video on how to do it?

Also can I confirm with someone are they H7 bulbs?

thanks, all help is appreciated!

They are HB4/9006 and you kind of need to get under the bumper to drop the plastic tray to remove them.
Also you will get errors all over the dash unless you use resistors or code out errors.

LED bulbs are just for show, you won't get any light off them (not light that you can use even in fog)
You're better off doing what myself and a few others on the forums have done, and just install a set of HID bulbs.
Looks much cleaner.

And if you need efficiency, let it be 3000K xenon.
