BMW Fog Light Bulb - Genuine BMW 63217160785

Product Information

A fog light is a type of automotive lighting mounted low on the front or rear of a vehicle, designed to improve visibility during poor weather conditions such as fog, rain, snow, or mist. Fog lights emit a wide, short beam of light that cuts through dense fog or other visual obstructions by illuminating the road just in front of the vehicle without reflecting into the driver's eyes, which can happen with normal headlights.

• Dim or Flickering Lights: If the fog lights are dim or flicker on and off, it could indicate an issue with the electrical connections, a dying bulb, or corroded wiring. Flickering lights may also point to issues with the fog light switch or relay.
• Condensation Inside the Fog Light Assembly: Moisture or condensation inside the Light assembly indicates a failing seal or crack in the housing.
• Alignment Issues: If the Foglight assembly is damaged, misaligned, or loose, the Lights may not properly focus the light on the road, causing poor visibility.

About Genuine BMW

The original parts used by BMW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine BMW” brand. When ordering a Genuine BMW part you are guaranteed to get the same part that you would pick up from your local dealerships part department. Genuine BMW parts have been built to BMW’s stringent standards and are the same quality of the original parts used to build your Ultimate Driving Machine.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your BMW are not necessarily manufactured by BMW. No cause for concern, as BMW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for BMW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine BMW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a BMW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
