they might look OK, but I bet the OE ones are less likely to break.

I agree............
I have cracked foglights so I need to replace anyways. I was just browsing ebay and I saw those for the first time. Looks interesting. I wonder if the lense is glass or plastic?
Need to see them on a car though....

Hi, got them on mine. Lenses are glass and quality is decent to, but all fogs break when rocks hit them...

Can we see some pictures? How is the beam pattern compared to stock?
ALex
sorry, don't have any pics of my car... I know I saw a pic of a blue car with them mounted before I bought mine, wish I could remember where that was.... anyways, beam pattern is as good as to be expected from fogs... they don't do much in clear weather, but enhance the looks a bit I think.
found the pic, this car is not mine and has the chromed hellas and projector turns along with the crystal fogs.

I was looking into those as well. After all, our headlights are crystal clear. I STILL don't understand why people get the WHITE OEM front corners if they get crystal clear headlights.
Look at T&T's picture. That's awesome! EVERYTHING matches!

That picture is too bling for my taste.
That's overdoing it.

Yeah! The other day I saw a civic where the color of the 5 foot wing matched the coffee can exhaust!

The fogs look nice though

I keep seeing more and more of those bling headlights......they look like shit IMO........ZKW's with some DDE's and clear corners with the parking light delete looks very clean compared to this new stuff.

That is possibly the ugliest front end I have ever seen.

i am intrigued by those fogs... I am definately NOT into the headlights or parking lights.
However, not once did I say i was dissatisfied with how the stock fogs look (or perform after upgrade)

interesting...not feelin the hella chrome headlights...but the fogs look good. I have the clear projector corners...but not the chome ones...mine are dark grey under the glass.
I think I like the fogs.
A bit ricey IMHO.

What like this? :)
I agree that the chrome hellas are a bit over the top, and so are the chromed corners. On my car I went with depos clear/chromed headlights, but with normal black surronds - procarparts carries them: http://www.procarparts.com/store-detail.asp?sku=BMW%2DE36%2D9298%2DBKCL%2DXXXX%2DPJ 2X along with depos black projector corners (slightly better quality than the ones you see at ebay, tired both) , also available at pcp: http://www.procarparts.com/store-detail.asp?sku=BMW%2DE36%2D9298%2DEUBK%2D34XX%2DCL 2X
Topped that off with the crystal fogs, I think this combo looks nice and has an updated look withput being overly ricey.

Chrome hellas are way over the top, but these ebay fogs wouldn't look that bad if paired with normal clear corners and ZKWs. I would recommend some stoneguard or some other 3M clear protection material so that they don't pit or break again in the future.

Exactly :clap:
yeah, get protection for sure, considering even high quality OEM fogs break left and right without it... the clears surely have thinner glass then OEM.

I would pass on that.

Is it just me, or are those fogs really f-in expensive?
OT: anyone have links or info regarding this "parking light delete" deal? I've never seen that before, but it looks nice.

my parking light delete is the parking lights are off when the lights are on and they only come on when the turn signal is on. heres how i did it, pull out your turn signal bulb and take a piece of tape or a sticker and place it on one of the 2 filiment thingys and find out which one works. and there you go.

a set of OEM fogs are $80 incl shipping from bimmerparts.com, get that and some StonGard, i prefer the OEM fogs to the ebay ones.
