new owner here also - will these bulbs fit ?

Hey all. Good to be here.
Bought my wife a 2011 Countryman base 40k with xenon's and daytime running lights (not fogs) that don't match
Will these lights I've shown here fit the 194's that are in the running lights to better match the headlights? Anyone know? thanks in advance.

I think you are safer with http://www.ecstuning.com/Mini-2011-C...16A/ES2684738/, the bulbs you show might trigger the check system and throw codes.

personally i think these match the best, they say they have a blue tint but it wasn't noticeable.

i have the ziza leds now and they're a little too white.

also the hoen xenomatch H8s for the fog lights match xenon headlights perfectly

here's the piaa's in the running lights with my stock headlights and bulb i forget in my driving lights :(


and here's the hoen fogs
you can see the driver side is the oem light and doesn't have that clean white.

can you resend that link for fog lights? your link leads to an empty shopping cart for me.

One more things, the fogs are the lower light bulbs in the foglight assembly, right?

Have you found a bulb in the upper fog lights that match the xenon's perfectly?

the daytime running lamps are these..
PIAA 19172 168 Xtreme White Wedge Bulb - 2 Piece PIAA 19172 168 Xtreme White Wedge Bulb - 2 Piece
these are in the upper position of the fog lights.

these are the fog lights.

Purchase H8 35w xenonmatch

when you say "upper fogs" you mean the driving lights installed in the grill ? the ones i have are a dead match for the xenons, i just can't remember what they are ? if they're what you're looking for i can probably dig up what kind of bulb i used.

Oh cool... My dealer replaced the fog lights under warranty but the bulbs are stock... So now if I buy

And

Amazon.com: PIAA 19172 168 Xtreme White Wedge Bulb - 2 Piece: Automotive Amazon.com: PIAA 19172 168 Xtreme White Wedge Bulb - 2 Piece: Automotive

I'll be back to matching fog lights to the xenon headlights...
