    Default quick! go check your fog light bulbs!

    just kidding, there is no hurry, but
    according to my bmw manual i have
    h3 bulbs in my fogs (usa spec, non ellipsoid 9/90 production)
    yet when i went to look it turned out i have 9006 bulbs
    in my fogs.

    so i went to spp and ordered thier 80 watt yellow fogs

    Default Wish I could!!!

    Cannot seem to figure out how to get to the bulb? Bentley and other advice seems to state there is a "sliding lever" on the front grill area that takes the glass cover off. Yet I cannot find it. It also does not look like the bulb removes form the rear.

    Default go UNDER the front of the car and...

    turn the deal in back of the fogs counter clockwise and they should slip right out, kinda like the headlights.

    the e34s don't pop out like the e36s with the lever, they are held in with a screw and a couple pins. 89 90 elipsoid fog lights run h3s and the later ones are 9006s
