Fog light retrofit?

I've got a 2016 340i M-Sport that didn't come with factory fogs, can I retrofit a set of OEM or similar aftermarket lights easily? Are the light brackets already in there behind the grilles or will I have to buy a bunch of new plastics?

For the switch, will I have to buy a whole new switch?

Nah means u have the track pack. 2 extra radiators behind your bumper. This is why they deleted the fogs, for airflow.

Also looks better w/o fogs imo. The M cars dont have fogs, looks cleaner.

Yeah, I have the track pack too but I'm looking to get some fog lights. Want some aftermarket lights that are pnp to the oem harness.

I love the look and functionality of fog lights, which is why I want to try and retrofit them. Yes I do have the track pack, so you're saying it czn't be done due to the radiators?

Exactly what I'm looking for. Have you had any luck?

Interested as well since I drive in very rural areas very early in the morning. I know they have the fog light grills that have the open slots for airflow to the radiators. European msports have fog lights.
