I had lots to consider when I went the Z4M bumper conversion.
Fill or not to fill the reflector, water jet and even the tow hook ports ?
I also considered upgrading the plastic lower grill with a metal mesh.
And then there was the loss of the fog lights that many complained about.
I don't understand why this was a concern.
The wiring and switch are already in place.
The bulbs have no impact on any computer idiot light.
The stock bulbs are halogen, and the stock lens' are prone to corrosion.
Leds are the way to go in my opinion and they are superior in so many ways.
There are a couple of obvious locations.
If you require a lot of light I think the solid part of the lower grill would probably be a better choice.
The brake cooling duct is the 2nd location. You could easily mount a linear Led at the entrance. I even thought about an angel eye, before I thought Id play it safe with a round led.
There are many Led versions available now and new / powerful products coming to market every day.
Mine is still a work in progress. I actually haven't taken it for a night ride yet to verify how much light these lights produce. If Im not happy, an upgrade is simple.
