There are three harnesses, and a sh!t load of wires. Most of the install is straight forward, but I still can't figure out where three of the wires go. If you have no experience, and are trying to do an OEM retrofit, better take it to an expert. Quote: Originally Posted by ClutchJones I'm thinking of adding fog lights to my '98.

Where is the grey one coming from? __________________ I scream, you scream, we all scream for ZOMBIES. | | | 06-18-2007, 04:03 AM | #20 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Denver, Colorado Posts: 3,212 | Fog lite problem still!

But it turns off whenever i turn on the headlights. I checked the instructions and did exactly as it said. The instructions are at the bottom 4 you guys 2 check it out. See if u know what the problem is cuz i sure dont. | | | 06-18-2007, 04:15 AM | #21 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Denver, Colorado Posts: 3,212 | more ey i talked to my brother and he said it could be that the fogs are not getting enough ground which is causing it to light up this way. Is this true? | | | 06-18-2007, 05:36 PM | #22 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Manassas, VA Posts: 4,129 | I seem to have two relays laying around as part of the fog light retrofit kit. Can anyone confirm the part # of the fog light relay? One of the relays is silver metal, the other is black plastic. __________________ 1998 (July) 318ti, 5-spd OEM Armrest Blaupunkt Heidelberg CD50 CD Player/Compact Drive MP3 Player Diamond Audio 5.25" rear speakers Navman ICN 530 GPS BMWALARM.COM (with comfort settings) after market alarm system Magnecor 8.5mm wires M-Z3 Shifter/Momo Knob Burlwood Dashboard Stromung Exhaust X-brace Racing Dynamics Front Strut Bar Carbonio C.A.I. 17" Rial Rims Vader Seats/Heated/Lumbar Support M-tech Steering Wheel/Front Sway Bar/Front & Rear Bumper Depos/w 6500K Angel Eyes/6000K HIDs Clear Corners M3 Mirrors UUC Light Weight Flywheel/M5 Clutch/M3 Clutch Slave E28 3.46 LSD/Mcoupe Cover/E30 Flanges & Halfshafts UUC S.S.
