"IF" the bumper you guys have use the same exact fitment of OEM E63 foglights, I have the pieces that you need to plug and play.





I have the real bumper and barely did the HID foglights conversion two weeks ago (I got tired of the LED fogs). No cutting of wires, no resistors, no gluing/sealing, etc. Just straight up mounting of the ballast, and plug and play of the bubs.

Might be hard to tell but the 6000k fogs match the 6000k headlights.

Oem spring, or have a body shop fill over covers with bondo.

For some reason the chrome rings on mine didn't fit quite right, so I just left them off.

What did everyone do for the side marker lights on our factory bumpers??? I was reading somewhere about a resistor put in line, but can not seem to find it again.

Just got in my bumper and grill from Gary what great and speedy service. Upon opening I noticed the grill has a spot in the top center for an emblem. Does anyone have the dealer PN for that, also what are you guys doing as far as the emblem on the hood I want to avoid it looking dumb from having 2 emblems less than 6 inches away from each other so will most likely shave the hood emblem but are still undecided. Thanks in advance

Has anyone had any issues with the headlamp washer covers not fitting correctly? The tops on both of mine stick stick out past the bumper. Any ideas on how or what to adjust to get these to for flush??

Ended up just using adhesive and glui g the covers in place. I disabled the headlamp washers by removing and plugging the hose. I don't care for them anyways.

Relocate your headlight washers so they spray on the front heat exchanged. Freebie spray cooling.

Where did you get that bumper? It looks so off. Not even close to OEM. Look at that lower chin, looks so weak. That's not the suvneer one is it? Jesus Christ why can't they just make the copy bumper off a mold of the original!!!

I think its more angle of the picture personally and the fact its black. Below is an OEM e63 bumper. But anyways. You can always buy OEM for 3 plus times the price. Have at it.

The point is that it looks way off. My question to the people who make it is WHY?!! Why not just make a damn mold off the real thing and just make it 100% the same?!! Is it gonna cost more? NO!!! Are they retarded?

You missed what I was saying about the angle of the picture. Anyways scroll back through the thread and judge for yourself. Most have an added lip though.

Yes I saw the angle comment. It's not the angle trust me. It's just different, even from the front you can tell. I just don't understand why they don't make it 100%. Maybe they're just trying to be a$$holes.

I've noticed there to be different batches. Some are closer than others. I've identified to different designs from the ones that come from Taiwan/China. Park it next to an E63 and that will give you a straight up comparison.

I can now pretty much from a picture tell you if it's real or fake even if the car has facelift mirrors and what not. I can tell if it's OEM or not just by looking at it and that's definitely not good. I'm looking for OEM bumpers for sale at a reasonable price but they're so rare here.
