Recently bought a pair of facelift front foglights at a very reasonable price.

I've got the mounting bracket but no fixings to secure them to the bumper, After a little bit of searching I think I need some plastic rivet sorta things to screw into in order to hold them in place.

Can anyone direct me to somewhere that sells the ones I need having a hard time searching for them as not sure what they're actually called! also will any relay work?

Much appreciated

BMW are the place for this sort of stuff. Go on Realoem.com, find your car, then find the diagram with the bits you need. Copy the part numbers and quantities, then either visit your local dealership or post a request in the Cotswold BMW section of this forum.

Have you checked your fuse box to make sure you don't have the relay already?

not very easy to find elsewhere then? I'll give that a go then, would be easier but was wondering if it'd be overly expensive :( No relay in the fuse box checked earlier

Thanks

If you have the part numbers, try searching the forums to see if anyone else has asked Cotswolds for the prices. You may be pleasantly suprised; it's often a case that no-name tat on eBay works out more expensive than genuine BMW stuff.
