[Paul in NZ]

are they all actually foglights?

[tnt525i]

yeah
fog lights/driving lights, whatever they are called,,, its specifically for the e34

[Paul in NZ]

thats my point....fog lights are floodlights ussually deliberatley aimed low driving lights are more spotlights and aim higher.If you want to use them as driving lighs,ie on with the main beams you may have to change your wiring/relay setup,or are you simply asking for an aesthetic opinion?

[winfred]

they all do about the same pattern unless they ****ed up the reflector inside, pick the ones that you like, the middle ones look slightly less ricey but id stick with the orignal as it goes with the styling of the car

not changing any wiring,,,, just aesthetically appealing to you guys

i like the middle ones also, just looking to upgrade the front a bit,,, i think the oem ones dont really look as modern as the others, and they gets kinda lost in my bumper,, oh i have the mtech front bumper

[iainand]

i would say middle ones too

[Blitzkrieg Bob]

They look the most like the originals

[Qube]

#1 but don't get them from Mako. Bad service. Get them from the other HK seller... then SEAL THEM UP OVER AND OVER as with all aftermarket lamps.

[bahnstormer]

the last ones look like they might be the brightest...
i'd pick the brightest

I Purchased mine of flea bay for £20.00 roughly $40.00 It's nice to see someone else on the same wavelength ! Are you one of the lucky ones with all your wires in place. I'm not being personnel it's just that I'm having to suss out what I have to change to fit the blighters! i.e. Loom,Relay and switch I think the wiring to the switch is the same ? mine only has the one position not two but wiring colour codes seem to match any experts out there?

[Jon K]

Painting the chrome parts black is commonly referred to as the "joey mod" in vw world.

Come on this is England we give wreckers cars for nothing and then pay an arm and a leg to buy bits back. I've been to 3 wreckers already but no luck! so I thought I'd try to get the Info hear

WAIT! I'm going to post about that. The angel/projos I bought had HORRIBLE light throw. The cutoff will kill anyone on the right side, HID or not. Think V

I will be posting shortly about it.

thanx dudes

did you buy your fog lights?

How was the pattern? Fog pattern or more of booster/driving?

Did they throw noticeably more light on the road than stock?

[nizmainiac]

id go for the middle ones, have you tried searching on partsgateway.co.uk
