Replacement Fog light
A rock hit one of my fog lights and now it is all fogged up
I want to replace both with new LED fogs, since I have to go through the effort of taking off the front bumper to replace it, I might as well upgrade it. I understand that it is possible to use X3/X5 fog lights on the X1 since they are mechanically compatible. I can deal with the electrical and coding side to get it working, but I do not want to tackle a big mechanical project. Does all X1's have the same fog lights or is there a different one on the msport? (Different bumper) Any help will be appreciated. |

The led lights for X3 5 6 are different than the X1. They are bigger and don't match the bracket. I installed them on my X1 but removed the brackets from the bumper and made my own using long bolts molded to the bumper. Also had to cut the opening to make them fit. It's pretty involving project but I'm happy with the result.

Wow huge difference. It appears the brackets are different as well. The non msport looks like the led fogs of the big brothers but I'm not sure if the diameter is different too.
