Wondering if anyone has experience with accessing the fog lights on the G05 series X5s? Can the fog light be accessed from the outside? Taking delivery of my 2022 X5 45e in a few weeks and want to add factory fog lights since BMW deleted them post 2021. Like the look with fog lights aesthetically. SA suggested I do not hook them up due to warranty concerns on an electric vehicle.?

Thanks in advance!

Did you install it?

Interested in your answer as well? Did you get them installed?

I did end up installing fog lights I ordered from OEM seller. They can be installed by removing the front tires and respective wheel wells. Right fog went in relatively easy, however left side is really tight. No wiring harness was available for fog light connection that I could see. Will just be an aesthetic install until I find a kit for the harness and switch.

Other than the fog lights and 6 bolts to hold them in place, were there any other parts needed for the installation?

[Dzienkob73]

No. Not for just installing the fog lights.

Any chance you still have the part numbers?

Same here. Any updates on a fog light kit?

Same here as well. Any update on the wiring harness and switch installation?

If anyone gets to retrofit the fog lights please share

You should be able to find the parts in bimmercat or similar. BMW offers replacement "repair" wiring harnesses for much of the vehicle depending on factory options. Also check out this thread. https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1852810

At this point, I'd be all about installing the fog lights even if they aren't functional. Looks a lot better than what's there now.

Silly question but what actually holds them in place? Do I need screws, bolts and nuts, or is there something already there?

Asking because (a) someone else in the chat suggested it needed six bolts; (b) none of he light sets I see come with any bolts; and (c) I want to make sure I have everything to hand before tearing down the front of the car to install them
