I personally don't like the headlights you posted. I think DEPO makes a set that resembles stock headlights that look nice.

I haven't had issues with my rolling gears headlights so far, other than one fogging up after washing the car, but they promptly sent me a new one that i haven't installed yet. Also no issues with the OPT7 LED low beam bulbs.

Here is a picture of the headlights at night with running lights on, and one with just the angel eyes.
And this i thought was kind cool too.

Edit: Yomorrow I'm going to get some daytime pictures of the headlights for anyone interested. Also I will be trying out those rubber dust covers for the LED bulbs I ordered awhile ago to see how they're going to work.

Edit again: Looks like the rubber dust covers should work OK, not perfect but OK.
Here is a pic of the headlights, sorry about the reflections and dirty car.

Did you have to modify the dust cover? Which ones did you get? Pics?

I had to

[mojobmw_e90]

I also modified the dust covers after putting in the xenon lights. Used a step drill bit and opened the hole enough for the wires and rubber to pass through, than sealed it with high temp black rtv.

I'll get some pics when I get home.
I did have to modify them. This is what I bought.
I had to cut them so the outer part was gone, the the part that says 8cm was left. You'll see in the pictures when I put them up what I mean.

Looks like you need to try to reset the short circuit counter in your FRM.
These are some threads I found on it. Just google BMW 9CBC, that's what I did.

Make sure to check your wiring before resetting. It could be a problem with your HID kit.

I will get those dust boot pics today, haven't had time lately.

Would ik it's the kit if the stock headlights work? Also I know nothin about computer coding only use the Carly app so how do I find coders in my area

I think the problem is that the FRM will shut down a circuit if it finds a short circuit too many times, or something like that.
You have to reset the short circuit counter or it will never work again. Trying stock headlights or different bulbs wouldn't help anything. I think the issue was that your HID kit, or maybe even headlights are short circuiting or something and the FRM shut down that circuit to prevent harm.

I don't know much about it, that's just what I found from googling your code.
I'm sure a local BMW Indy could reset it if you can't find someone else.

That's the thing I checked if it was the bulb or ballast and they both worked on the other headlight but when I completely switched ballast it decided to work. My Indy is basically an dealer. As the price they previously quoted me for things before

Do regular bulbs work?

. It seems like it would work well, though I would put a hose clamp, or even a big zip-tie might work, around the outside to keep the rubber boot on the housing.

Don't hav those but the hids does work

ALL FACTORY XENON GUYS AND GALS; Possible solution for people, like myself, that really like the look of the 3D m4 style angel eyes that rolling gears uses. If I'm not mistaken these provide the clip/s that you need to mount the new led rings on a headlight retrofit. Thinking about pulling the trigger but if anyone has experience with another 3D m4 style led rings, please let me know.

These headlights will be able to replace factory xenons, mine were plug and play, though adaptive headlights will get an adaptive headlight error that can be coded out.
