Everything is there, but BMW decided it would confuse ppl having 2 fog lights, so there is just one connected on the driver's side. Even the bulb is there!!! Just need to find where the connection is to light up the passenger side!! A simple connection must be somewhere if the wiring and bulb is there!! |

The 1 fog light thing has always confused me because I would have thought 2 would be safer as it is obvious it's a car wereas 1 could be mistaken for a motorbike.
I always assumed it was the accountants watching every penny spent but if the bulb etc is there then it isn't that. Edited by kevin |

They can't be penny pinching, as mine has, bulb and wiring, just doesn't work. Theres no power to the bulb.
