Once in a while it will flash a fog light error, this can be coded out, or like in my case I ordered some special in line connectors that will go between the fog light and the cars connector and stop the flashing and error code.

The strange thing is it doesn't always show up. And when it does it's only their for a second and disappears.

Otherwise they still function just like the stockers. So when I said plug and play they work just like the halogens did. Minus the intermittent error message. Not a big deal.

Once I plug in the resistor it will function 100 percent like stock.

Looks great c, nice job. Shaving/flushing out the stock supports to make room for the new brackets shouldn't be too bad with a dremel. Any beam shots? Let us know if you plan on making a few sets.

Looks great, good job there
I also wish E70 X5M had a fog lights just like F85 does, I miss my fogs from 2011 X5, but that's about all I miss from that car

Will someone please make these brackets to sell. I am very interested in doing this retrofit, but the bracket fabrication is not top on my list of to-do items right now.
