So I finally got finished changing all the lights in the car (well not all (led interior, led drl, led turn signal, led side marker, led license plate, hid fogs, 6000k low beams)). And now I get a "Pass. restraint system" error. It says "Fault in passenger-restraint system affecting airbag, belt tensioner or belt-force limiter. Continue to wear the safety belt. Have the system checked by the nearest BMW center." I am assuming it is from something I did as I wasn't getting this message a couple of hours ago. Is there a way to clear this message and see if it comes back? Or does anyone have any ideas what I might have missed/left unplugged?

Thanks in advance!

nah... most likely the seat mat sensor needs replacing or (hopefully for your sake) the battery caple has failed being a little cheaper to fix

I think what happened was, under the light housing on the driver side there is a plug (after talking to brabus he said it is for the air bags). I unplugged this while trying to find somewhere to mount the ballast. I started the car to ensure the fogs worked before I put everything back together before plugging this back in (oops). Now I have the error light... So, will this go away after driving if it was that? Or do I need to go get the code reset somewhere?

Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, any reason it is, the code will need to be reset by a dealer...
By reset, i mean diagnosed, then cleared. The dealer can tell you the problem from there $$$
There has been a few people in the same boat. ie me.
