08, 528i won't start
Hi everyone
I need your help
My car won't start at all.
I installed a set of 35W ultra canbus hid kit to the low beams head lights 2 weeks ago and then 3 days ago I added a set of led fog light bulbs with resistors. The next day I noticed the car struggling to start, and now the car won't start at all.
I tried giving it a jump and disconnecting the parts I had recently installed, but still no start. I thought it wasn't the battery since the lights inside and out the car turn on fine along with all other electrical parts of the car.
The battery is about 2 years old.
Please advice.
Thank you

have you had the battery tested? Is the car trying to turn over? Is the starter engaging? I would start by taking the battery out and taking it to a parts store to test it.

Thank you seanjordan20
After reading the forums doing some homework everything was pointing for the starter to be my car problem.
So I decided to removed and installed one that I got from Auto zone myself.
Just finish picking up my tools and car started right away
I spent most of the day but I got it.
Not an easy job but it can be done

No that is not an easy job. Glad I could shed some light on your issue. Good job researching and eliminating the many things it could of been. Hope it goes well for you.
