Thanks for the video. I can't get these bulbs to the Netherlands without insane shipping costs. Can you maybe tell me what I have to pay attention to/ search for to get good LED fog lights? I know I have to search H8 LED fog, but how do I know if they are good and bright enough? How did you come to your selection?

[@scottbraganza]

Thanks for the post, getting these!! That simple eh, plug and play with minor coding.

[@ThicWhips]

Yup!

[@scottbraganza]

Thic F30 just ordered, gonna look way better than my current yellowish fogs lol

[@chaoticend27]

Hey Thic! What headlight bulbs did you have during this install? And does the new fog light match somewhat the color to your headlight? I just installed some Osram CBIs and now need some fog lights but want to make sure I get some fog lights that will be close to my headlights. Love your channel bro!

[@paulfitzpatrick7424]

Another well prepared and presented video this was massive help to myself as I wasn't aware I had to code in drls had the same warning which is now gone👍👍

[@ljohnson7382]

Thanks for video...these are my last bulbs to change to LED. You have helped me to make coding fun! I was able to get mirrors to fold and unfold via key fob, as well as roll up my windows with key fob! Have you been able to code windows to auto roll down via key fob?

[@ThicWhips]

Yes, however most come with that function stock

[@teboholenyatsa3746]

When you were coding, I noticed that your center dome light is different (for a pre-lci). Do you have a a retrofit video for that, including where you purchased the part? I don't like the fact that both my center and rear have to turn on at the same time. And they look too basic.

[@miltonnarva6262]

Great video my friend !! Just few question I do the same process saw in the video but the message said upgrade for $ 31.99 I have to pay ? And other question works for Toyota Lexus and Acura ? Thanks for answering my questions have great day

[@vybzwidtyngz]

This video really helpful... like I upgrade my fog light LED but after 2 months they start to flash/ blinking on and off like I would say maybe about every 5 second and I didnt know how to fix it .... with this video I'm hoping when I do the coding it stop it from blinking but if you have any other idea I can try please let me know... Keep up the great work I really appreciate your videos them ...

Bought the lights from your link! Installed and coded like you said but the fogs do have a little dim to it when the car is off for about 5 mins before turning off is that normal? How’s yours? Thanks

[@andrewsilverstone4894]

What about adding oem lci led fogs?

I just bought the Lux Angel Eyes for my 2009 328xi BMW but my Fog lites Are stock so they don’t match my lites I want the hyper white Fog lites so they match the angel eyes what do you recommend for fog lites? Your car is sweet by the way what year is it?

[@Boss35G]

Can you code led on carly app or just bimmercode?🤔

[@MrF-ly2bb]

Hey ThicF30 I have a question for you I want to install some LED angel eyes on my F30 but most are projector headlights and when using a LED bulb from my past experience LED's in a projector headlight assy do NOT put out a good light outpost at night or put good light on the road. I have heard that to get a good light output onto the road you have to use a good HID kit because LED's are worthless so do you know if this is the case ?

[@larry4603]

bro i just install a set of xenon light bulbs and led fog lights ( same as yours)and i did the coding but now when i lock the car ,lights wont flash . before when locking the car they flash, did i miss anything or did something wrong? can you help me

Bro, I’ve bought the same exact LEDs and don’t the same finding steps and everything is working perfectly except that when I turn them off, the LED bulbs keep flickering in a very low light percentage. Do you have any insights ?

Did you do the coding part? Setting Fog light warm/cold monitoring to not active should solve it..

[@seventhladderautosport]

Mine stay on for a few minutes after car is locked. Very dim. But is there a way to turn off

[@Scotford_Maconochie]

Probably the cheapest and best looking upgrade on a BMW. 6000k HIDs, LED turn signals and LED fog lights. But please don't replace your HID for LED.
