halB do u get error when u turn on the foglight? i recall u have the M bumper

I am still using the bulbs that came with the OEM M-Tech kit and no error so far. Not sure what they are but I suspect they are H11. When I had the kit installed by a body shop I thought the fog lights use H8. So I gave them a pair of GP Thunder H8's to put in but they gave them back after they tried, saying they couldn't fit because the pins are different.

good to know because I m getting the bumper install soon. The OEM M-Tech does come with the H11 as standard and no way u can fit the H8 unless u mod. it

I got it installed and have the error

fixing it tonight

halB · 11-08-2007, 02:37 PM

Are you using the bulbs that came with the OEM kit?

Mikey335i · 11-08-2007, 02:38 PM

yes

halB · 11-08-2007, 10:56 PM

Do you happened to have pinched a wire or something like that? Or may be the seal is faulty and let water leak in and caused a ground fault? Mine has no issue. I can't imagine BMW will ship something that causes error in their own cars.

Mikey335i · 11-13-2007, 10:34 PM

the error finally went away

Mikey335i · 11-13-2007, 10:35 PM

So the E92 will accept a 55W H11 bulb without causing an error message?

Mikey335i · 11-14-2007, 04:31 PM

heres the deal

first week after mtech installed - no error
weeks 2-3 bulb error - every thing works though
week 4 no bulb error - went away - still works

VanSky · 11-14-2007, 06:13 PM

no error code since day 1 after the Mtech... maybe loose connection???

I know the e90 m-tech front bumper uses the 9006/HB4 bulb, but I'm not sure about the e92.

Mikey335i · 11-14-2007, 11:55 PM
