So I just failed my yearly inspection....

[granit_silber]

It was due for renewal in October and today I finally got around to doing it.

I failed due to my broken DS foglamp lens. Before I can pass I have to replace the foglamp.

As always here are my questions......
Along with elipsoid headlamps, did Euro spec e34's also have elipsoid foglamps?

If so, are there any benefits to installing them? Do they act more like driving lights or foglamps in the beam pattern.

Where should I start looking for a pair (other than the 'bay)?

ps I have 9005/6 bulbs in my fogs now not H1's

...you need one, and would like to buy...so that makes me...THE MIDDLEMAN!!

And oh yeah, we had to postpone the buyer visit in the morning...more on that later.

bmw foglamps are exactly that.......foglamps

Sounds dumb to me. Most cars don't even have foglamps, but because your is broken, the car is "unsafe?"

Its the same way with big trucks. Any of those big rigs you see on the road with all kinds of extra lights running up and down the running boards and sometimes even the trailer, if they have a safety inspection done and any of those lights are out, they fail. It doesnt matter that they serve no purpose besides decoration.

alot of us cars has ellipsoid foglamps too...like mine.

No doubt ! I'm suprised Califonia does not do these yearly inspections too.
I guess the bureaucrats cannot make a buck off of it, like the "Smog check 2" program taking over the state.

Theres these foglight lens sold on eBay. But it seems like it's a labor intensive job. Also kind of pricey for a couple lens.
Anyone done these ?
