Use OSRAM FOG BREAKER. Direct bulb replacement, no warranty issue.

And why are you putting HIDs in your fogs?

Just want to add a little more clarity on the road, I've passed by other bimmers that has done this so far none of them produces glares

Look for "gary q" here in tsikot. He can retrofit for you.

By retrofit you mean the modification of the lamps itself? It will void my warranty best that I could do for now is use HID's or the osram though the osram bulb is only halogen and would not really give that much clarity

The FOG BREAKER is 60% more light (according to OSRAM) and its about 2800K-2900K. It should be good enough for your foglamps.

If you put HIDs in them (say 35w HID) and the fog housing is only built for <27w of power, then it will melt or burn you bowl/housing which is gonna be a big issue with warranty.

See? The lesser of two evils would be to do a proper HID fog retrofit if you really want added lightning on road (besides your headlights).
Warrany might be voided or not, but in the end you chose the best option there is.

And if you don't want your warranty voided, just put the osram alternative. Again, be wary of the wattage.
