M3 front bumper fog lights install

RatedEM · 06-07-2017, 03:05 PM

Hey guys i'm having trouble with the wiring on the fog lights of the bumper. Do I cut these wires in picture with the arrows and bind them to the blue and black wires in the second photo!! Please help!

Instead of cutting the factory wires, order some h11 to 9006 adapters. It's cleaner that way.

This is exactly what I did. Cost me like $5-10 on ebay and its reversible without cutting or soldering.

Too late, it isn't that hard to reverse what I did. Thanks for your help though. Car looks super clean.

I did the same thing - just cut the wires and use wire nuts and electrical tape. If you're real paranoid about having a good seal, pick up some heat shrink tubing for the connections.

I put on the m3 bumper last August and haven't had any issues with the electrical lines on the fogs since then.
