So I just failed my yearly inspection....

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

In Oz, you don't have to have a spare wheel - but if you do it has to have a tyre on it with legal tread.
Beurocracy !

Hey Ash. It's easier to just replace the entire foglamp. Cost should be somewhere around ~ $50 from BMA.

There are two kinds of fog lamps for US spec models. I don't know if they interchange, for some reason, I suspect not. Incidentally, the E32 lamp is wider and won't fit, although it may look like it will. The early cars (up to MY '91) have Hella projectors. Post '91 525s use NAL fogs. The bracket is the same, but I think they're a bit narrower in width. Also, later ('95) cars might've returned to projectors...I forget. But I know they were stock in '94 because, incidentally, I replaced the DS unit on a silber '94 525 earlier this week.
