I am assuming that it's pre-programmed, and once you initiate via remote, it goes crazy on its own? Or do you have some sort of way to control?

It comes with a software program and a PC cable so that user can select the lighting sequence.
You can
select how the lighting should flash if you unlock or lock your car.

Haha, wow, that's kind of insane, lol.

But yeah, I am thinking that it's probably not very good to the HID bulbs.

God what did I do wrong , maybe is there a special way to install diodes? I really hacked my wires . I was wondering I'd the relay is doing it or do I need a diode in the footwell light?any help would be helpfull. 2007 530i!when I'm done with the car I'll post up pictures with my wheels and kit!

Is it one doide for positive and one for negative? Or do I connect them diffrent? Do the diodes go on the oem wiring or my harness?

I am almost sure it's not good for xenon and HID setups... sure you don't want to be the white mouse?
