I just got a hold of a pair of H3 Silverstars (my buddy is a rep) and I want to replace the STOCK fog lights on my new M45 ...
Has anyone done this yet ? Any detailed descriptions ? I've done this in the past on other cars, but I'm unfamiliar with doing it on the M ...
I don't wanna screw anything up !
Thanks in advance !
Has anyone replaced the fogs on the M45 ??

Hmmm ... is it H3 for fog lights or high beam? I thought it was H1 for the fog lights (but I may be wrong!)

Oops! I should have RTFM'ed the M45 service manual. The fog light is listed as a 55 Watt H3 and the high-beam is listed as a 60 Watt HB3 or #9005 (but not H1 - where did you get your info, Brian?).
I certainly would not recommend changing the low-beam on an M45, of course! They are HID Xenon's already.
