Here is something intresting i've found on Ebay that fits our e60, I think it would really look good with the HID fogs with the projector. What you guys all think? I wonder if they fit for the M-tech

That's a nice upgrade. I am not sure about the quality of those projectors but I had projector fogs on my E46 with an HID kit and found it to be a must if you have HID fogs. Not so much for light output as the difference was not huge but to reduce glare towards oncoming traffic.

Yah thats what exactly i thought of the glare and it looks better from a far distance instead just a bright light.

Yah thats what i was thinking too with the projector fogs it would definitely work better. I've contacted the seller if they make one for the M-tech and i havent got an response yet. I dont think the OEM fit the M-tech am i correct?

Yeah they are different... I think the M-Tech is fully round edge while the std has that little straight edge.

Hope they make one for M-Tech... that'll be a good upgrade...

You probably need to do that. There's no way this housing would fit without taking off the front.

They are the same, there is a little thing you have to shave off thats it, i used my stock fog lights for my m-tech bumper, dealer told me THEY WOULDNT FIT, but they did, and they have the straight line down on the bottom as well.
