Question Question * Is it possible to swap the ms3 foglight with mz3*

Ok so im wondering if it is possible to get some ms3 foglight setup from the 2nd gen and swap it out with my stock mz3 foglight setup.

I like the sportier round fogs better then the eyelid still i have now.

Have you taken a look at a picture of the front end of a 2010 MZ3 and a 2010 MS3?
After looking at that you should have your answer.

With that being said, if you're good with body work anything is possible.

i was going to answer this but forgot hahah

I would say it is possible. You would need a few parts though. I think MZ3's without fogs just have a pop out panel covering where the rectangular fog lamp is so I dont know how it'll work when you drill the hole for the MS3 fogs. Maybe there are panels without the pop out part? You'd also need the MS3 fog lamp assembly, H11 to 9006 adapter, H11 bulbs.

Part#'s

-MZ3 fog lamp bezel
BBN250C21C (LT side hatch) ($35.74)
BBN250C11C (RT side hatch) ($35.96)

-MS3 fog lamp assembly
BBN651690B (LT side)($240.50)
BBN651680B (RT side)($240.50)

H11 to 9006 adapters can be found on ebay along with bulbs


I think that's all you need but.. yea...it'll take some work. Unfortunately, I don't think the MS3 fog lamp bezel will fit our bumpers since it seems smaller.

Why not just get some 2012 mz3 fogs they look very similar to the speed3's plus they should be plug and play.

2012 front bumpers are different from 2010-2011 so are the fog light bezels. OP would still have to drill a hole for the fog light assembly. but yes, the OP could buy 2012 fog lamp assembly and use that instead of MS3 fog lamp assembly. Aren't the 2012 Fog lamp bulbs H11?

Part#
-2012 Fog lamps
BGV851690 (LT side) $164.02
BGV851680A (RT Side) $164.02
-2012 Fog lamp bulbs
000011H11 (they are H11's)

2012 MZ3 fog light bulbs are actually H11 as stated in the owners manual.
2010/2011 MZ3 fog light bulbs are 9006
Speed3's have the same bezel but MZ3 bezels change from 10/11 - 12 models. The 2012 MZ3's have circular fogs and the front bumper is different from the 2010/2011 models.
