a friend of mine want to change his 2004 525I Halogen to xenon headlight.
we installed the xenon headlightt then we turn the lights on, eveything looks fine, but once we start the car. the xenon start to blinking/flashing
what's the problem? do we need to get other parts to go with the xenon light?
any body can help us out? I know we have to do the reprogram at the dealer. that's all about it

thanks

Wire in a 35v 4700uF capacitor between the xenon ballast and the earth, this will cure the strobbing and warning lights
