Yes it can be done but it is not worth the price

You can purchase aftermarket LED bulbs for your fogs. Would save you a ton of money.

What needs to be done? I get the lights almost for free, so that's not a problem. If a ton of other parts except the LED lights are needed, I suppose it is not worth the price. Is there required new cables etc. or just coding?

I know, but I think the new original LED fog lights looks a lot better. But if the price is more than 500 USD for a retrofit, I'll probably go for the LED bulbs instead. Is there anyone specific aftermarket LED bulbs recommended for the F10/11? And do you need a resistor (or what you call it) to prevent getting a light fault on the iDrive?

I bought the bulbs from ijdmtoy and if I remember it correctly it was around $70. It came with a resistor but I never installed it. Didn't have error warning.
