Hey there e60.teamegypt.4...
Just curious what you're using for your yellow fogs? I just recently acquired an 08 535xi and started my modding. Although not too much so far, I got some nice 19" CSL reps and tires (staggered), nice white AE bulbs and a Cobb AP. Coming from the world of a SAAB 9-5 Aero, I still can't stop smiling every time I drive this car even though it's been 10k miles so far.
On my SAAB I used to use Narva Gold for my fogs and then switched up to Luminics JDM Yellows. Yours seem to have a nice pronounced yellow to them and I think this is exactly what I'm looking for.
On another note, I still need to make my introduction thread and say hello to the rest of the e60 world here! Thanks in advance if you could so kindly let me know what you're using for those fogs.

my fogs are the 3000k HID fogs from motorcepts, I ordered through John on this forum. Its been about 8 months since I got them installed and still I LOVE THEM, the HIDs are definitely worth the extra money. Hope I helped and welcome to the forums!
