I recently changed my Halo headlight bulbs for a set of LUX V3 bulbs, now I want to change the fog lights to emit a more white light and hence match. I know the car has the cornering lights function so think that LED lights will not work as the lights need to fade out gradually once the car drives out of the corner.
Are the fog light bulbs easy to swap out?
Can anyone recommend any similar bulbs to the OEM that emit a more white light as a straight swap please?
Cheers

Try the MTEC filament versions. I use their H8 version for the halos and there is an equivalent for the fogs ISTR.

Thanks Richard, I will try them.
Does anyone know if it is a quick and simple DIY job or not so easy?

Once you can get at the back of the fogs it looks straightforward. It's getting the foglight mount off the front bumper. This video should help as the trim just pulls off leaving the lamp mount in place.
I see BMW have now released a set of 'blue' and 'power' bulbs with blue filters for all the major bulbs.
