Definetly looks better without the lights.
I was thinking of doing the same thing but it doesnt seem worth it to me at the moment. I think you would have to remove the bumper, seal/tuck connectors away somewhere, and maybe some coding on top of all that... |

I like the lights as well. I'd assume you'd have to code out the fog lights to prevent the cold bulb check on startup.
Plan "B" is keep them until a couple rocks destroy the lenses, and then remove. |

More light > less light. It's scientifically proven.

Remove em - then ship them to me :P
I loved em on my previous F36... I think the LED fogs look nice on any BMW due to it's styling; the halogens, not so much.

like the previous post, use a tinting film on top of the light, I used a 20% tiniting film & it's dark enough that they won't show unless you're looking for them but you can still use them if you want to (something that i've never done) here's a pic to help you decide.

Mine are always on, and not because it's foggy. They illuminate the side of the road where the low beams don't reach.
Maybe it's just me, but with all the catterwallering about how bad BMW lights are to begin with the notion of making them work even worse by tinting them makes as much sense as putting a screen door on a submarine. |

If you decide to take them off, I would buy them from you. I live on the coast and we get fog a good bit and I miss them from my e90. Low and wide light profile really helps in foggy conditions...I wish I had them!

Personally I think the car without looks low rent, the fogs look pretty classy to me plus they're actually pretty useful in the fog!!

I don't have the fog lights but it may come in handy! save the hassle of removing them and add the tint?
