On ebay I saw a pair of Mtech fogs for sale, Ebay Mtech Fogs but on the pics they look just about the same as the original ones... :wacko:
Does any1 have pics of the Mtech ones?

Thanks! :twoup:

I'm thinking to get an m-tech kit too and too could not get a straight answer about this... it was "implied" that the fogs fit, but not directly...

sorry that I'm not much help :cool:

If you buy the BMW M-Tech kit the fogs come with it. I don't know if they come with the kit from Umnitza or not. If I was planning to buy a new kit, I would decide what kit I was going to get first, then find out about the fogs. I wouldn't want to buy a set of fogs that might not fit.

Im not certain for sure on pre-LCI but on LCI the bulbs are the same (H8) but the actual housing is different. As one can tell the housing is wider on a standard front end more rounded on a MTech kit. Of course there's always the M5 front end where there is no foglight housing!

That incorrect...the bulb for the pre-LCI is a 9006...i dont know about LCI. I also know the fog light housing is a bit different as it relates to how the unit is fastnened to the bumper. however I have heard a time or two someone said it might be possible to use the standard housing on the m-tech bumper, but I cant confirm. I would try a search.

I replaced my OEM bumber with an M-Tech and got the new fog lights, but didnt compare the 2 for differences.

Thanks for the replies guys, reason I was asking was because I got myself a good deal on a bumper, but it doesn`t have any parts what so ever, the fogs are quite expensive so I was hoping to fit my original fogs in the ///MTech, I guess I would just have to try!

The fogs will fit (assuming the bumpers not a facelift) you will need to buy the housing that they sit in. when I have changed customers bumpers from se to sport the fogs fit.

What housing is that? do you have a part number?

Thanks!
