Hard to install E46 Fog Lights?

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I've got a E46 Facelift which unfortunately did not come with any fog lights as its a basic model.

I've found a pdf from 46Fanatics on a diy with a kit containing the harness etc from bmw but was wondering how hard it would actually be. The only thing I've done to my car is wiring my angel eyes to the remote wire under the glovebox and connecting it to the day time running lamps.

Has anyone else done this diy for a e46. Also looking at doing this as Im thinking of getting one of krish's m3 rep bumpers so I thought it would be better having the fog lights installed.

Cheers

Don't quote me but I would think the car will be prewired for fog. Check for spare wiring/plugs in the vicinity of the headlights.

You would probably need to add the relay & the fog light switch (assuming wiring is present)

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll take a look tomorrow when there is more light. Yeah I know about the LCM switch which can be change without actually changing the LCM by just apparently changing the plate of it with one that has the fog lights.

I've already had a quick glance at the fuse box earlier and cannot see anything behind where the fogs fuses should be so I assume it may not be prewired but will need to double check.

If only I checked before I bought the car a year ago haha would have preferred front fogs to rear fogs which I never need to use

Just checked today and no pre wiring so looks like I will need the kit minus fog lights and the lcm panel.

So am I right in saying I will need the relay, and the wiring harness's and is that all? does anyone have the part numbers for these?

Cheers
