BMW F30 LED FOG LIGHT UPGRADE • INSTALLATION AND CODING

[@Aman1818]

I just changed my fog lights. It was super easy and nicely explained here. I did break a small plastic piece but the lights locked still. So be patient as he said 😅. I am so proud of myself.😂 Huge shoutout to ThicF30.

I finally put my new fog lights in yesterday evening on my F33. It really makes a difference. Thanks for sharing!

Show the adapter your using for the coding and where you plugging it in at would be helpful.

[@baardsli]

Just as a FYI to some of you. On my F31 I had to first disconnect the cable in order to twist and loosen the socket. Thx for your excellent clips on coding👍

[@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.

[@hotazf306]

Been waiting for this one! SO hype!!

[@anthonydipippo3082]

Will you still need resistors can bus? Thanks again!

[@tshepomokoena180]

Are those H11 bulbs?

[@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

[@andrewsilverstone4894]

What about adding oem lci led fogs?

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 ...

[@ThicWhips]

The coding will fix it

Hi there. Love ur tutorials. Are the fog lights h8 or h11 for f30 ?

[@clevelandaeromotive]

Important question: were LED fog lights a factory option in the year of manufacture for your F30?

[@ElvisBIH11]

Do you plan on getting project car?

[@ThicWhips]

Well. I’m buying an f80 m3 and this f30 will technically become the project car

Hi I'm from S A can one change the foglights to the switchback one that switched yellow saw it on a offroad video

[@matthewsookroo3314]

hey would you have to code the Headlights if you swap to LED bulbs?

[@ThicWhips]

If you have the halogens and you are going led, then yes. Unless you are using error free led bulbs

[@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

[@groef400]

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?

[@rylo4262]

You said something about the fog lights turning on when you turn the wheel? Is that actually a thing? I’ve never noticed that on my f30.

[@ThicWhips]

Yeah it was factory coded on mine and I coded it off, looked terrible lol

[@michaelwhatever]

Yeah I’m pretty sure mine doesn’t do that, or at least I haven’t noticed it ever either. Kind of weird that his was like that.

[@gone_inc]

My 430i does that and it drives me crazy!

[@iPixl3OMG]

Mine does that when it's put to auto

[@mikefetters6674]

I just bought these and am going to install them and then I thought, when do I use my fog lights? Do they ever turn on automatically?

[@cartere9981]

Everytime you turn your wheel

[@Coolinsch]

Update. Bimmer code has updated it to just LED conversion and that is the only option.

[@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 ?

[@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

You can vinyl wrap the fog light glass in yellow. Pretty common

[@ramirezserge187]

@@ThicWhips I must've missed it. I see where you tell us that your OBD is different, but we're wondering if there was a reason you switched to a new one as opposed to the iCar V-Gate Pro. Thanks and keep up the amazing vids. Super helpful. :)

[@ThicWhips]

It looks like I explained that in another video and a community post. Basically, vgate does not have consistent stock in their adapter therefore I cannot market a product that is not available to my subscribers. New adapter is the exact same just a different name

[@SunlitVoyages]

If the bulb goes out, will the car still give you a warning even after coding monitoring off?

[@glennnerboy15]

no

[@Tatsumaru2005]

I think it would... the car has been told to check for the lower voltage of the LED bulb, rather than higher halogen. If no voltage going through, bulb broken, error code.

Hey Thic! What headlight bulbs did you have during this install? And does the new fog light match somewhat the color to your headlight?
