It looks like I need new fog lights:

I'll contact Gary from Newport BMW and see how much they are.

Yes you need a new fog light. A piece of tire had damage my right fog light next month. Luckily, I had an extra one

edit: sorry about the late response. Someone was selling a used fog lights in classifieds. You can try contacting him

Yeah... I was thinking the same thing. My car needs something new to keep things interesting.

Where's the best place to get them? I was thinking of getting brighter bulbs for my angel eyes as well.
Best place is from me! Almost every forum member here has purchased something from me. I hope you can get your fogs fixed ASAP. Like BET530 say, use zip ties. They work! Or contact member CWest and see if he has an extra fog light laying around

Well, obviously John's opinion about himself is just a little biased.

But seriously, I have purchased my HID fogs (as well as all of my lighting mods) from John and I love them. His HID fogs kit is very high quality and there is indeed no strobing or flickering. They are superb fogs.

I just got done installing my new fog light. Got it from Garry of Newport BMW. Excellent service! I highly recommend him/them. Bought it Monday, received it Tuesday - it helps that I'm only an hour away!

The install took about an hour. I had to remove my passenger wheel so I could get better access. It was still a tight squeeze though. My dealer quoted me $250 for the part and labor to install. Got it from Garry for $104 shipped.

With the new fog light installed, my driver side fogs look "old" and scratched up...

Next step is to get HID bulbs for the fogs and MTECs from John...

Get a lens detailing kit to clean up that "old-looking" fog light - will look like new, if properly done.

People seem to recommend the 3M Lens Detailing kit - you can get it at just about any local auto parts store.
