The problem with LED fogs is that they have a very low power draw, and BMW also uses them as cornering lights. The Lights aren't true on/off because they also serve as cornering lights, they fade and dim, which will cause flickering and shorten the life of the bulb drastically unless the LED lights can handle dimming.

You'd be far better off finding a higher color temp halogen bulb (4000-6000k) and replacing it with that instead to match the look of the LED light. You'll need to experiment to find a color you like.

I went another route - I coded my car to disable the cornering lights altogether.
