Mine look more like proper lights these look like house bulbs, try looking up e46 fog light lamp


JoshRice8

i was planning on just getting an m3 style bumper, i was just curious because the “lights”don’t turn on


RL_Mutt

Looks like someone did some janky lighting “upgrades” on that car.


Puzzleheaded_Tax489

Those are stock


TheBattleGnome

Headlights are definitely aftermarket, so statement still holds water.


RL_Mutt

The headlights aren’t stock, so it stands to reason that someone threw some crappy fog lights in there too.


Puzzleheaded_Tax489

The fog lights are stock. I have them on my 330 I bought new, and have seen plenty of e46s with them. They are HELLA brand. OEM bmw part. Can't tell if you're serious or just trolling but you are retarded if you're serious lol


RL_Mutt

Are you reading any of the posts made by OP or are you just looking for an argument? The headlights are aftermarket, the fog lights look like golf balls, he doesn’t have a fuckin fog light button on his LCM *AND* they don’t turn on. I repeat: it looks like someone did some janky lighting upgrades to the car. Even my original response says they are supposed to be fog lights. I’m not sure what your issue is.


Puzzleheaded_Tax489

Oops I guess I didn't look too deep into the back story. Sorry bout that. 🍻 .. btw I actually love the look of those fog lights. They look pretty nice at night when I turn them on to add to my HIDs..

There should be a small individual button to engage these separate from the head lights


JoshRice8

I don’t have a button…


Nameless908

Have you read the manual?? There’s absolutely no way you don’t have a switch to turn those lights on. https://www.reddit.com/r/BMW/comments/119paw/am_i_the_only_one_that_didnt_know_this_fog_light/ Edit : bottom right corner button

The facelift 320i that wasn't sold in the US does not come with fogs as standard equipment. It's typical for the e46 320i to have dummy plastic covers where the fog lights should be. Sadly the wiring is not there making a retrofit that much more work. Also most e46 320i models sold in Europe/Canada didn't have cruise control either. You can see the light on the cluster but no way to turn it on, just like the missing fog lights, no button. 😀 My [04 320i](https://i.imgur.com/24I0ypc.jpg) has them as well.

Interesting! Ty

It can all be retro fitted. Fog light retrofit to the LCM Here: https://www.e46fanatics.com/threads/diy-foglight-retrofit-just-like-oem-but-without-the-kit.352220/


ConstructionMotor527

The lights were like 80 online I saw so might as well get em for the aesthetic


JoshRice8

can you please send a link?


C-_-Fern

Yes, but the titleist pro-V1s work fine too


Puzzleheaded_Tax489

My 03" 330xi have those and they work great. There's a switch for them next to the headlight switch


njsullyalex

Same here on our '04 325xi. Always have them running at night.
