Fog Light Halogen Bubls That Umnitza Lights for F30

Can anyone suggest some halogen bulbs (or compatible LED lights) that will match best with the new Umnitza LED lights I will have installed on my F30 soon?

Those are amazing until you read the fine print.
Product Details
Direct-fit upgrade for vehicles without LED fog lights. Requires coding for proper function.
wish someone made a simple solution

I.E. If you have halogen fog lights they are a direct plug and play, they just have to be coded. Which is exactly what he'd have to do if he put LED bulbs in his fog housings. The OEM led fogs atleast look like the Umnitza/ONEighty headlights.

Nope, I've coded many things on my car. Dealer's won't even acknowledge that coding is even possible

Wait a second... So should I just buy LED compatible lights for the halogen fog housings that I have or drop a load of cash on these LED lights you linked? There aren't any bulbs I can buy that come close?

There are, just look for an H8 led bulb. But you asked for the best matched, and those are best matched.

Cool. Thanks dude. You seem like you know your stuff. I'm a complete newbie when it comes to this stuff nor am I mechanic. You would suggest the lamps you linked ove the h8 led bulb? What's your opinion?

Being that they are OEM, they will have the best light pattern and output, but there have been a lot of people who have had good luck with a regular H8 led bulb. The only thing you'll need to do is code out for the checks
