Yesterday I changed my foglights from stock to a Hella brand foglight(12v55w) in my 2004 530i,and was disappointed with the new lights.I should have followed my first mind and went with the PIAA brand.

You might also want to check into the Predator Xenix bulbs we carry. They are a nice pure white output and we have been very happy with the quality and light projection on the road.

The install is not difficult but it does require a wiring harness to power them off the battery in order to prevent the bulb out warning and flickering.

Here are some pics of HID Fog's.. Also It was just plug and play. I just bought a cable that fixed the error and flickering.

Total, 105 dollars. =)

Enjoy!

Screw PIAA. Get the HOEN's for $30. Katheikia did a comparison of all Non-HID xenon match bulbs that are on the market and after finally listening to me, he also concurred that the HOEN's are the best and the cheapest.

You may also like to know that Dave from AngeliBright suggested the HOEN's almost a year and a half ago, when I almost went with the PIAA's.

If you're not going to do HID fogs, get the HOEN's for $30. Don't waste your money anywhere else. Period.
