This was actually pretty easy mod. Took me no more than 15 minutes would have been less if it wasn't for the uncooperative driver side housing that was hard to pull out. Other than that it was a piece of cake.
so there's an open space for a bulb that doesnt do anyting??

Yes it does. From what I read it was suppose to be for a rear fog light that is required in European cars. So I just ordered the necessary parts and followed the instructions and there it is. If I can do this mod anybody can. So what ya waiting for....go for it my friend.
Got rid of my E38 over a year ago

I must do this mod by friday
I am waiting for a power steering hose for mine so nothing today, its just been sitting around.
Nice work.
All I did was caress my 7 today.
replaced thrust arms...50 miles later, the "clunk" returned.
I drove mine to work; since the weather was cool I had the AC off. Did a little moderate speed test in sport mode up the exit ramp onto the highway. :-D

God, the power steering hoses are a HUGE PITA!!! The first two in and out of the PS Resorvoir are just fine but the other two are an ordeal. Even with jacking up the motor to get at the nut. Also, the last hose is held captive by this bolt which has to be removed, problem is you need a helper to throw one socket on top and another on the bottom to keep it from spinning.
Hope I never have to do that again, I rather do the valley pan 2x
I added 2.5 cups of coolant to my resv.

So if you do the quad mod you don't have fog lights? Isn't that a little dangerous or don't you get fog in North America?
