Best HID Kit for Fogs

Looking to buy HID's for my fogs, what is the best kit out there to get? First time buying HID's so have no experience in what i'm suppose to look for. It will be for a E90 Pre-LCI

I've been reading this thread. Seems pretty helpful as a lot of fellow members have bought these same HIDs. I'm about to make an order next week for several parts.

Biggest thing you want to look for is a kit that does not throw a code. I have an 08 e90 (production 11/07) and I went with Hight Performance Bulb's kit. It is 100% plug and play and no errors.

As I can't speak for other kits, but there are few more kits out there that claim to be error free:
http://www.sonictuning.com/bmw/e90/b...rsion-kit.html
http://www.e92-lighting.com/catalog/HID_KITS-25-1.html

The issue with the 06-07 production models is that the lighting software is sensitive to lighting changes. Later model pre-LCI's use the same lighting software as the LCI's which are setup to use LED's.

With the kit that you purchased, does it work fine on 07 e92 that seems to HATE every HID lighting solution i throw at it ?
