ZHP HID Fog Install

Hope this isnt a repost.... i searched and found alot about the reg. 3er. Need to know how to do this and also how to remove the front bumper on the zhp. Its a coupe also if that makes a different. Thanks in Advance guys...

in the regluar 3 series all you do is pop off the plastic around the fog lights and remove the screws, but on the zhp the screws are backwards. What you do is remove the plastic around the fog lights by pulling on it lightly it jjust pops on and off. then you can stick your hand in the back of the fog light and just pull out the bulb, it is difficult to do but it can be done. i have big hands and i have done it a bunch of times.

hey thanks just tried it..... damn that cover comes off so easy... haha it was kinda hard getting it stay back on but i think its back to normal now... any thoughts on how to mount the ballast and the wiring for it?

I mounted mine ~2 inches above the bottom panel, on the fender liner. I used 3m outdoor waterproof double sided tape and it has held good so far *knock on wood.

EDIT: If you want some pics, I'll take some.

thanks andy...

what if you have no plastic around the fogs... i dont think i do. i just recieved them today, and its just the fog light housing, 1 piece only

hey bro there is a diy for the 325 on the tech articles on this forum


EDIT: Here it is.... lmk if you need some more help. its really not hard and i should have tried before posting. gluck and it is well worth the effort

I just pulled away my fender liner and found 2 holes in the front metal bumper bracket and a single hole on the car-side and threaded some plastic zip ties through them and the ballast. Now the ballast sits high up around the top of the bumper completely away from water. Also, no possibility of any tape coming undone. Only thing i've noticed is that my AM reception is reduced when I put on the HIDs. Probably has something to do with the ballast interfering with the antenna which I think is in the bumper... right?
