you need the digital ballast so it can cancel out the error code and the capacitor so that they dont strobe when you put on "auto" mode



BTW thanks

Hello there.

Looks awesome.

Can you tell specific what kit it is, mayby a link where these can be bought? :-)

I have bought a 35W H8 canbus 8K kit for the angels and it dosn't work when auto is on and in daytime driving light.

It only works when the position lights on, is it because the voltage rises to a higher level in auto mode so the ballaster shuts down?
The angels are in 2 levels, in position light the HID kit works, but in auto or daytime driving light it's whay sharper and the HID kit don't work anymore, i think there is a voltage issue here that is to high when it shift over??

Hope someone can help here.

Thanks

Best regards

Torben.

Ps. I'm relativ new in this forum, and will soon post some pictures.

Have a E92 320D M-sport saphire black. Love it :-)

Ask your boy for us...we'd definitely like to find out (and I could throw em up into my Angel Eye comparison thread).
