I checked out your website you said any color was available but I do not see anything lower than 4300K? I would really like a yellow light for my fogs.

Hey guys, we've been out of the office for a couple of days so sorry for the delay in answering your questions!

NEW2U: Let us know if these guys answered your questions! If you need some tech support just send me a PM and we'll help you out.

SNYPAZ: We have 3000k available. We just have to add it to the site. We are waiting to make sure everything goes smooth with these GB customers, and we are starting a new GB thread. Keep an eye out because it's coming some time this week. Thanks!

** Guys, please PM us when you receive and install your HID kit to make sure everything is running smoothly. Thanks!

Hi,
Just letting u know I got the Fogs, I just need to install them. They look GREAT!

[new2u]

I installed my kit, and it looks great.

One question:
Whenever I turn on my lowbeam for the first time after turning on the engine, I get the lowbeam out error msg for about 10 to 15 seconds and it disappears. When I check the system, it says "Check OK". And after that, the error msg doesn't appear anymore when I turn on the lowbeam. Is it how the EDM is supposed to work? Or did I install it incorrectly? If I have installed it incorrectly, shouldn't the error msg stay on? (with ! inside the triangle sybmol)

hmmm that doesn't sound very good... i hope that's not how the EDM is suppose to work, cause that'll be kinda annoying to have the error message appear everytime you turn on the car.

Andy, please check your PM asap!!!

new2u, are u still getting the error message upon starting up the car?

[new2u]

Yes. It takes about 15 to 20 seconds for the EDM to clear up the error message. I removed the EDM from the circuit to see how it goes, and it seems that the car's system shuts off power if the EDM is not attached. So yes the EDM is working, but it just takes 15 to 20 seconds to get in action.

And I just learned this from Andy today. Do not install your EDM near the heat source.

So even putting on the HID fogs with the EDM will trigger the error button for 15-20 seconds... and then disappear... or is this just for the headlights?

i'm hoping this won't happen for the foglights... unfortunately i won't know till i receive my EDM.

I hope it's just for the headlights.

But once you get used to it, it's not that annoying. haha, I don't know.
A little beep sound reminds me that my lowbeam is on. And the error msg quietly disappears.

ok, i just installed mine and it's the exact OPPOSITE of what you're experiencing. mine turns on just fine, no error message... for about 20-30 seconds that is! then the error message came on!!! and about 30 seconds after that, both foglights turned off. I tired installing them without the EDM and the error message came on right a way... so the EDM is obviously doing something, even if it's only preventing the error message from coming on for 20-30 seconds ! anywho, i've just spent 3 hours going at it trying to fix the problem, and right now i'm too friggin tired to deal with it... i'll work on it some more tomorrow. Anyone else that bought this for their E92 foglights got this thing working?

^Response to your PM on its way.

---------------------------------------------

To clear a few things up.

The error message appearing initially is NORMAL operation in some cases. The reason for this is the EDMs work in conjunction with the vehicle sensors instead of just bypassing them altogether. This means that if you were to have a bulb go out, the EDM alone would not continuously bypass the computer and an error message would appear on the dash. The reason the light goes on for a short period of time has to do with the increased voltage used when the system checks are performed. If the EDM was to match this voltage without the bulbs on and provide a constant no bulb out, there would be no way of allowing it to accurately show if a bulb was really out.

I hope this makes sense- if not feel free to ask questions. Also, because of the temperamental nature of the BMW OBC, we always suggest soldering when possible to bypass the plastic connectors used to make the kit completely PnP. This is at the discretion of the user but will guarantee that the current travels smoothly if you encounter sporadic issues.

e92

[bbdamon]

yes it does give out error messages everytime i start the car!! but it takes 15 seconds to go away!

[3thirty5]

hmmm.. for me the error message doesn't come on when i start the car. just when i turn on the fog lights... then the fog lights turn off.

Hmmm... did you check wiring?
It seems like EDM is not working properly because when I removed EDM, my system also turned off the headlight that didn't have EDM attached.

i'm gonna do some work on it this weekend. hopfully i'll have it sorted out.
