STRANGLEY BROWN Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Fed up only having an offside Rear fog light then for less than £17-00 you can upgrade to twin rear fogs. You will need the following two items 1. OEM Part number 63 21.8.374.807 (saloon and coupe according to RealOEM)comes with the bulbs already fitted = £16.25 2. Length of 10 amp cable approx 3 feet A. Unscrew tool tray and remove form boot lid. B. Unclip boot lid liner to gain access to light clusters. C. Unplug left hand light holder and replace with new light cluster. D. remove white clip from connector plug feed in stripped end of cable and rplce clip. plug in connector to cluster E. Route cable along line of cable already in boot lid to right light cluster. F. Push other end of new cable into outer Brown/Yellow cable on right connector. G. Re fit trim and tool tray. H. Switch on rear fogs and admire the fact you now have two one each side. OLD AND NEW LIGHT HOLDERS LEFT CABLE CONNECTOR WITH NEW CABLE RIGHT CABLE CONNECTOR WITH NEW CABLE INSERTED IN OUTER BROWN/YELLOW CABLE MarkyN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan 24v Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 There is actually a good safety reason for NOT doing this. The reason we only have one fog light is so that people dont confuse them with brake lights. But hey it still looks good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyZ Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 There is actually a good safety reason for NOT doing this.

But hey it still looks good if there not used unless fog then no one will confuse them plus high level brakelight on all e46s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickyZ Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 You need a BMW connector to connect the wiring on the left hand fog light cluster but otherwise top DIY I just asked my local BMW dealer for a connector + cable for my rear foglight as one of the wires had come loose.

But hey it still looks good There is a good reason for having fog lights on both sides of the car if you travel on the continent. Haven't you ever followed a foreign car with one foglight ?

agd320i Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Great write up, thanks. Will now do it for the right hand side (LHD car.) lol. I did this mod on my previous E30, with one difference, as we don't have fog here, I replaced the usual 21w bulbs for 10w and used them as additional tailights. Will do the same on E46.

CharlE46 Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Great mod and didn't realise the E46 only had one rear fog, my E30 has them both sides from the factory.

Aidan316i Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Does this work on a facelift Coupe? Rang the dealer without the P/N and they couldnt find it on the system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyZ Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) Yes as it uses the euro foglight bulb holder (their fog is on the other side) part numbers are in this DIY IIRC and my local dealer found it straight away with the P/N Edited August 7, 2012 by Trickster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
