hello everyone
I recently installed aftermarket HID's in my 2005 E60 in full beam, they worked fine for a couple of days but later on some errors started popping up in my iDrive such as
transmission error
electronic failure
washer failure
cruise control failure
i googled for this issue and found out that a sky blue relay is faulty, i ordered it online and replaced it, after replacing the car started fine but as soon as turned the HID's on again the same errors popping up. i quickly removed the HID's and fitted the OEM bulbs. the errors went away but i cannot understand why did those errors pop up, i even used warning cancellers with my ballasts.
please advice on this issue.

Did you try to remove HID and put original light bulbs back.
If problem dont exist anymore then you have to do programming volage in your car.

test your battery...
low batteries will send false i drive error messages. also seems wierd once the hids starting drawing all the juice for the low beams the errors popped up. Perhaps the charging system has some sort of fault?
