HID fog lights… What do I need to not throw a code??

Eat.Sleep.Race · 05-16-2014, 06:02 PM

Hello all, upgraded to M3 style front end, and the fog lights are projectors so want to go with HID's since it won't blind anyone.

I installed my kit i had laying around from my M3 fogs but it throws a code, so is any kit that are plug and play that don't throw a code, or do i have to wire in a capacitor or do they sell a harness so it doesn't throw codes? Any input and links to where i can buy a complete kit, would be awesome!

Thanks all!

You could code it to not check for errors

Highperformancebulbs , they make fog lights which are error free . I have their set for past 2 years. 100% happy

you need a 35w canbus error free hid kit or at least just the ballasts

Where do you install that in line with the kit? Before the ballasts, or between the ballasts and bulbs?

VK335M · 05-18-2014, 11:37 AM

Between the ballast and car's output. Basically before your ballasts...

Installed it yesterday, no errors and flickering.

Ordered the hid kit, and the anti flicker, both the KENSUN brand, so I'm hoping for the best!! Thanks

Going to need an inline resistor or a canbus/error free ballast.
