I had problem on a HID kit I put in the fog on the E60. It led to multiple times of failure in the adaptive light module. After I took it off and put back to stock, the problems have gone away for good.
The dealer told me there were excessive power draws on the initial turned on which caused the voltage to spike beyond the manuf. spec. |

No flicker at all. The adative light simply would not swivel/turn as your steering wheel is turned. Normally, the cornering light would light up as well, either if you are backing up or making the turn.
I found my case is extremely puzzling and even the guy sold me the unit did not know the correct fix. Anyway, I took the kit off and since then (on stock) no more problem. Bizarre ! Quote:

I got my HID's from DDM Tuning. Lows, Highs and fogs. No error. I do have error decoders on all of them though, it wouldn't work without em.

i never understood why people buy BMW w/out HID lights and then try to make it HID. HID should be standard, but I don't like the look of BMWs w/out HID on cars where it's not standard.

Yes I did. The hardest part is finding a place to fix your ballasts where they won't be bouncing around. Everything else was plug and play. Riiiiiiiiiiight ... sure you wouldn't. Last edited by luigimaster24; 11-02-2010 at 11:16 PM.. |

Man.... These aftermarket kits DO NOT HAVE AUTO LEVELING!!!! You are going to blind oncoming traffic or the cars in front of you........

I'm sorry but I don't know if you have noticed that your driver side low beam is leveled just a bit lower than your passenger side low beam. BMW intentionally levels your headlights that way in order for us to avoid blinding oncoming traffic and at the same time increases visibility for road signs due to the higher level of the passenger beam. I don't know if it's the same way with bmw's that have auto leveling but it is with the ones that don't.
