K8 Fog Light Relay Part Number

[ehrawn]

I’m retrofitting fog lamps in my 92 Cabrio. I found a comprehensive parts list here:

https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/forum/e30-technical-forums/appearance-cosmetic/lighting/47819-retrofitting-foglights-into-late-model

It lists the K8 relay as 61311380013, but the common OEM suppliers list this as no longer available. Is there an alternate part number or a substitute from a third party supplier?

just google. superseded by 61311374631.

if you don't know about it realoem lists all the superseded parts and will tell you if a part is nla.

So, I’m afraid neither realoem or google was helpful in this case. realoem lists no substitutes:


The one thread I found lists 61311374631 as the part superseding the original and no direct replacements: https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/s...ad-light-issue

I did notice a note that the fog lap and low beam relays are supposed to be the same. The one in my fuse box has been replaced by the 61311375474 mentioned in the thread. Can anyone confirm this works despite the structural differences?

fcp euro, ecs tuning, rock auto and a few other places all list it available

Ah ok. I see what’s going on. That hella unit is the suggested sub.
