Are you looking for an HID kit for your fog lights? You want to replace your headlights or foglights?

I am interested in this as well. I MIGHT be going with a F10 550i since the lease is up on my e92 M3 soon, and I definitely would want to upgrade the fog lights.

Those are cool, but they aren't true HID's. But I'm kind of with you... I think I'd try for an "HID look" bulb over a real HID. Cheaper and easier to install.

I think I'm going amber anyway.

I agree with just going with the "HID Look". I just want to match the fog lights to the headlights.

I just came across this, which will probably work.

Just one question... What is the difference between MTech and Non-MTech?

Ahh, I didn't realize that's what they were, though that does seem better than actual HID fogs for my needs. I just would like the fog color to match the headlight color.

That same site seems to have a real HID upgrade kit..

I think "M-tech" is an internationally used term for US M-Sport (i.e. the M-style front bumper).
