so i've got a car w/ an 08/06 build date? this isnt gonna work is it??? or did u have a fix for it?

Bulldog 6 · 01-27-2008, 09:30 PM

Which H7 kit matches the OEM BMW HID color the best; 3000K, 4300K, 5000K, 6000K, 6500K, or 8000K?

XenonDepot · 01-28-2008, 09:24 AM

01stang, we are working on a fix for 06 build dates. Nothing confirmed though at the moment.

Bulldog 6 - OEM HID use 4300k bulbs so if you wanted to best match OEM HID I would go with a 4300k kit.

Steve: any chance we'll see a special on the Xtreme kits (sub-6000 K range) in the near future?

XenonDepot · 01-29-2008, 12:22 PM

Ni Nissan,

The Xtreme kits are already selling for the lowest price we can sell them for. These kits use Japanese components so our pricing is significantly higher than the kits using Chinese components.

hiya...Alfred didn't contact me today...what to do?

SES_D · 01-30-2008, 10:06 PM

Steve, did you turn off your PM settings? I can't seem to send you a message.

Well basically, my local shop took a look at the fogs and got them to work! No errors, not flickering, no burn out. The jist of the situation is that they drew more power to the lights and basically tricked the car's CPU to continually give the HID's power.

I will find out the specifics of what they did soon. Just giving you a heads up! We found a solution!!!

PAKMAN · 01-31-2008, 01:26 AM

you guys have 12000k hid lights for e90?

PAKMAN · 01-31-2008, 09:48 AM

and does the fogs work for 2006?

sdj620 · 01-31-2008, 08:54 PM

Hey guys I have a 07 328i sedan with Halogens. I was going to buy aftermarket projectors with the halos and put HID's in them. Will this work without any errors? I want too buy your HID kit with the canbus, but i want to make sure it will work with the aftermarket headlights. Any help or suggestions would be great!

Thanks,

Steven

SES_D · 02-06-2008, 04:49 PM

Steve, where you at man? Shoot me a PM or give me a call when you see this.

phatr1s · 02-11-2008, 10:47 AM

Here we go...
after Steve assurance that I will not have an error message, I decided to order the Volt H11 kit for my fogs, my car is a 07 e90 with a build date of 12/06. After I installed the fogs I see the error message and 2 minutes later the fog lights shuts off.
I called and email Steve but apparently they are under stuff and no phone support, does anyone had a refund back from Steve?

that exactly happened to me....we are in the same shoes....he is in vacation until 2/19, waiting for him to come back.

phatr1s · 02-12-2008, 09:33 AM

Question for SES D:
it seems like you have found a solutions for this problem, can you share what we need to do.
Thanks!

cgillio · 02-12-2008, 03:02 PM

Tried to pm you guys. Wanted to order the light kit.

bimdaddy · 02-16-2008, 07:27 PM

Tell us pleaseeeee

SES_D · 02-16-2008, 07:57 PM

my local shop found a solution to the problem. Error free & lights stay on no problem.

First off all you guys need to PM Steve for a relay harness. This harness allows the car to draw more power from an alternate power source such as the battery or something else which enable the lights to be lit.

However, this does not eliminate the problem of the error code. I still need to find out the EXACT details but the jist of the solution is to trick the E9x CPU to think there is a legitimate (correct wattage) bulb in there but are really running the HID's. How? This is what I need to find out but if you guys ask your local shops they would know. This is something that you would probably need to bring to a shop to do to avoid any wire problems, etc etc. You DO need to splice into wires & hook up alternate wires to diff. power source.

Steve should understand this & can give you further info, in the meantime someone just try to get a hold of him! He is he on vacation?
