New M3 projector fog lights

Just installed a new set of M3 projector fog lights in my bumper. I also changed the standard H3 bulbs to HID's. The end result was great. I can even drive at night with just the fog lights without the headlights being on.

Nice! I mounted some fogs in the same place. Upgrade to 06+ headlights and then you'll be set.

I am located in Malaysia... the big peninsular next to Singapore. Sorry I did not take any photos during the install.

The fogs cost me USD80 including shipping (which was USD35) all the way from USA.
The H3 HID's are around USD80 bought locally in Malaysia.

Unfortunately on the G, this is the only place to mount it as the projectors are long else I would have to make a custom bracket and all that stuff...

Took about 4 hours. Had to remove the bumper, drill a hole into the projector to fit the HID, measure and align the light... etc.

It was well worth it....

Yup ebay.... it's only USD40+ before shipping. Quality product as well although its made in Taiwan...

The fogs have a metal plate inside which makes a really nice cut off so that it does not glare on coming traffic.
