    Where Did You Get Replacement Fog Lights?

    There's a wide range of prices ($30-$200+) for replacement fog lights. Did you stick with OEM, or find a good quality replacements for your E30? Trying to balance quality and price.

    If you want quality there is no balance. Its either original ZKW lamp assemblies, or its Chinesium garbage.

    I bought a new pair of ZKW for my perfect E30, and I went with original ZKWs with pitted, cracked lenses with a set of aftermarket glass lenses. The latter is the best value. OE optics with aftermarket lenses. Save for the missing writing any normal person would be hard pressed to tell them apart.
