Fog Lights - availability?

SimonE86 · Post by **SimonE86** » Sun May 05, 2024 5:30 pm

Hi all,

I just joined the ranks of E86 ownership & wanted to know if anyone knows of UK suppliers of replacement front foglights? Mine are corroded & slightly broken.
I see lots of suppliers in eastern Europe - anyone bought from there?

Does anyone know if you can still get these from BMW dealerships?

Cheers

Welcome to Coupe ownership.

The front fog-lights on the facelifts are an ongoing problem! As an alternative you could buy blanking plates if you aren't bothered about not having them, because new ones will deteriorate like the originals. The 2 litre models had the blanking plates because they didn't have fog-lights as standard.

I am no expert car guy, but I did find that refurbing a set of facelift foglights is not the hardest job ever. They can be removed, take apart, cleaned up, repainted and re-installed.

Don't bin the old ones if you decide to ditch them - I am sure I'm not the only one who'd take your old one off you hands.

Think they're pre-facelift versions...

They're definitely for facelift cars. I ordered a pair for my Coupe and those were the numbers on the packaging.

When I google those part numbers they seem to be facelift foglight covers not foglight covers, not foglights
