Adding Foglights to 03 2.5

drummrr · 03-25-2009, 12:45 PM

I miss having foglights - I had them on my old Z3 and wish they came on the 2.5 Z4. How difficult would it be to install factory foglamps on my 03 ???

i thought they were standard on a 2.5?
std bumper has foglights in it, so I guess install should be pretty easy. what bumper is on there now?

The bumper has the cutouts for the foglights with black plastic fillers where the lamps would go. I`d like to do a factory looking installation with OEM lamps and switch inside the car.

The wiring to power the lights is in place. You simply need to remove the cutouts and replace your headlight switch in the cabin for one with the fog light controls. Another option - leave them off and switch to an M Bumper. The Z4M doesn't have foglights either.
