Fog lights

I’m going to be swapping my base g37 coupe front bumper for a q60s front bumper was wondering what the best aftermarket fog lights are for them. Was also curious if they make one that can sauté between white and yellow, thanks

I bought Morimoto LED fogs years ago, and they're still working fine today.

Don't know about switchbacks for fogs... think you might have to go custom for that.

I too have the Morimotos installed on my Q60. I've had them about a year and they have held up very well.

I just recently installed Philips D2S Xtreme Vision Gen2 bulbs in my OEM headlights and they now match each other, looks very good.

I must say that Morimoto lies about the XB LED fogs. They only draw about 5 watts when on, which means they can not possibly be as bright as claimed (they claim 1200L, but the LEDs they claim to use are only 140lm/W so max 700 lumens) which means they are not much brighter than the OEM fogs at all. However, they are bright enough to look good and they have held up very well so far.

I'll buy your OEM fogs and housings if you want to get rid of them.

Are they a direct plug and play or do we need to use the included harness?

They are plug-n-play.
They also have an LED accent light, that requires it's own, separate wire to activate those. I connected that to my running lights.

Ok, I picked up a set and it only included the Fogs. Not the extra set of harness.

I am rocking the OEM fog lights on my IPL bumper. Running Diode Dynamics HID kit 3000k (yellow). Had this kit on for almost 6 years now with no issues (knock on wood).

Same here, except for the DD HID. I do have HIDs in there, but they are innovative 3000k from Amazon, its been 4 years and running strong.
