Thanx for your reply. Now I got to this point:
1- The xenon: now is working with out any error messages but when I start the car it flicker for 5 seconds(I added the capictor 4700uf 35v).
2- Angel eyse: is working without any problems (the halogen one was 10 watt but in the bi xenon is 35 watt I solved this by getting extra wire from the main and added a relay).
3- The High beam: in this model the outer light work both as low and high beams using the shutter. So when you swith on the high beam the shutter open nothing else. So I connect the wire for the high beam directly to the shutter. It is working fine but it gives me error messages in the i-drive.

Now I need someone to help remove this error messages for the high beam.

Not sure how to get rid of he high beams error message? Have you checked the bulbs to ensure they are working?

Also how did you stop error messages from the angeleyes? I also wanting to use a relay. What resistor or bulb did you use to switch the relay to stop error messages?

This information also of interest to me

Have you tried adding a capacitor to the wire to the shutter?

Yes I added the same capactor to the wire to the shutter and the result is:
1- The error message went out.
2- Every 5 minutes (+/-) the shutter open automatically which really bothers other drivers and bothers me too.
3- When I start the car the shutter open and close for 5 seconds.

Last night I was thinking if it is possible to find a bulb same as the one for the angele eye but have tow core (I mean tow lights come from one bulb, three wires need to be connected to this bulb). If I can find this bulb then I'll make extra connection from the wire going to the shutter to this new bulb. Maybe this will get ride of the error message. Anyone can help in finding this type of bulbs.

I'm sorry I didn't have time to get photos of the connection I made but I'll try to explain what I did. To get rid of the error message for the angele eyes do this:
The bulb for the angle aye in this xenon light is 35 watt and in the halogin light is 10 watt so you can't splice tow wires like the previous model. You need to add extra wire coming from the main power to give more watts. Also you need to have a relay like this one: http://www.relays-r-us.co.uk/webpages/prod...s_cat/wj204.htm. I'm not sure which one I used but I'll open the light today and let you know the exact model.
This relay has 4 connections. Let us say a, b, c and d.
a- goes to the angele eye.
b- ground (the existing ground wire)
c- engel eye wire.
d- main power (the extra wire).
Note: You need to add a fuze to the wire coming from main power for safty.

I hope this clear. If you need more clarification please ask me.
