So to do this would be around $600 or so. Alternative LEDs would bring the price down substantially.
Those are the black grill...Cover for led is:

Unsure at the moment, will know more once I receive the housings later this week. Thanks.

Attached a pic I pieced together with what I believe is everything needed. Will know if it all fits later.

Those prices do not come up on the website, will call direct tomorrow. EDIT: Heard back from my dealer, 2 weeks to get those moldings which are only available in Germany at the moment. This is why they are not in the dealers database, needs to be loaded in.

Update: Received the new LED grills, they are substantially larger vs the E63 bumper opening. In fact they are even cheap plastic! But, from my short initial check it appears with some serious fabricating I can get it to fit. If anyone wants pics let me know and I will post.

Of course the grills dont fit. That is why I didnt order thouse. They are all palstic on new models. Even on the E63 front that I thought you had like the orange one has?

Question is? Is there anyone that DONT want pics?

Not sure where your coming from, this is a E63 conversion so I do not have the fogs that came with it. Explained that I thought. Even the angles are not correct on these grills vs the bumper. Tomorrow is transmission install day and then the weekend will be checking into the bumper further. I can fabricate just about anything to fit anything, just that for those that need to outsource the work, it could get costly going this option. As is , over 1.5" of the bottom of the fog grill must be cut just to fit the housing-this I stated earlier, the housings are proportionally off with the W212 fog opening being much taller vs the W211.

Looking at the photos above, I doubt the the same fog housings were used as I do not see the angle that is present on the W212 units.

Metal would have been preferred and I might just go ahead and make a metal subframe for the cut grill to fit. We shall see. All is not lost yet. Just waiting for the LEDs to come in.

Sorry I was just surpriced you didnt know it was plastic but not I know why. Metal was my choise for this. I will just make a new mesh. I wont even use the old fogs I think. The most importent here where how the LEDs fit. I will get mine today and look into it my self as well.

Looking forward to your setup. As I plan on painting the bumper this weekend, need to come up with a final solution soon. Hopefully my LEDs get here tomorrow. I'm actually contemplating going a different route as well and use Audi LEDs which appear to fit-measured my neighbors.

As I stated above, not even close-2" off in some spots and the slant on the W212 does not follow the contour of the W211 E63 bumper. I'm going to dust off the welder and fab my own grills to match up to Audi leds.

What factory drl's and how/where do you mount them on an E63?
