    Anyone ever seen these?
    Seems as though if someone could crack these open then they'd make an awesome retrofit in the 2012+ foglights. And for $60 way cheaper than the new Phillips led fog lights option.
    Really thinking about pulling the trigger on these
    Saw on the subaru cross trek forums that this guy retrofit the x6 fogs into the stock high beam location along with a projector retrofit.

    Thats funny, I was just looking at those. I wonder how big they are in comparison to the stock ones. Might be too large and thats why TRS is going the osram direction.

    Yeah I see them at work every day!

    They're quite a bit bigger than the stock 2012 fogs for sure. We're going to release another LED fog soon that actually fits the 2012 fog location, but it's $250/pair.

    The BMW fogs are only so cheap because we have 150+ pairs to get rid of. They were $150/pair.

    I'm the ex-Subaru owner, BTW. :)

    @andrew. Oh wow I feel like I'm talking to a celebrity :p I was looking at getting a crosstrek.

    But do you think it's at all possible to crack open the bmw fogs to fit in the tacos

    You would need a housing for it, but yes. The housing itself is huge compared to the module inside.

    Here's a shot of it in the Subaru retrofit:
