2009 E90 Fog Light Bulbs?

pilipnoi · 11-13-2008, 08:30 PM

Before anyone tells me to

I have it right in front of me and either I'm blind or it's just not here. If it is in there, a page number would be great.

Anyway, does anyone know what kind of bulbs the 2009 E90 LCI Fog Lights are? Would they be the same as the 2008s? I want to order the GP Thunder Fog Light Bulbs (H8), but I'm not sure if the fog light bulbs are the same. Thanks in advance.

They are the same bulbs as the headlights the gp thunders would work

Umm what?

BUMP, what fogs does the LCI E90 use? I also checked the manual vigorously and can't find anything about bulb replacement for the fogs.

I think I posted the fog bulbs on your last thread ... Fogs are H11 I'm 85% sure

Nicee...so you're definite about this correct? Don't mean to doubt you or anything but is this something you've actually checked? Thanks.

E90 LCI uses H8 35W for fogs and HB4 51W for LCI M-sport bumper.

Again, what is this based off of? ElectronicWoot.com seems to know they're stuff so I'm leaning towards it being H11, but I would still love to know for sure what exactly the bulb is.

Has anyone actually taken the new fog light bulbs out of an '09 yet to check?

H8 and H11 has the same plug, just a different base. You can trim the H8 to fit the H11.

djordje · 12-11-2008, 02:05 AM

LCI stands for FaceLift.
here is the info:

so I guess it doesn't really matter whether I go with the H8 or the H11 for the fogs? Either of the bulbs will work correct?

Just pulled out my 09 OEM bulbs to swap out for color matching bulbs of Jlevi (Awesome company, BTW), turns out they are 35w H8's not 55w H11's.
