I am currently in the process of trying to upgrade to an M5 bumper, and I need to remove my fog lights, what resistor will i need to use to bypass the error message?

thanks

I don't think you can remove the error message if you are eliminating the fog lights entirely. Upgrading to HID is another story because you still have something there. I'm guessing any resistor that can put out the 65W load that is normally associated with halogen bulbs.

try 50W 60ohm or 65W 60ohm, if there is one.
