So... I decide to give a little feedback of the HID fog Link below.

https://5series.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=53902

I tried to work with him and be very patient for his reply ONE A DAY... and gave my # if he could call me.. after that NOTHING.
Though i know he been on the site. ( just click on the person and see the LAST SEEN )

Anyways

Abit long story.. i know.. i will try to keep it as simple as i can.. please do read and comment as you feel.. i just want to share my experience..

Here goes...

I purchased about 8 weeks ago. Even wait for his new batch to come in ( + 1 week wait)

he told me " it worth the wait " So.. i waited and got it 2 weeks later.

The reason i waited so long to get it installed because i wanted to wiat for my bumper from trinity to come in and install the fogs while they're installing the new bumper.

About 2 weeks ago... i got the bumper installed and i got the fog installed as well..

so i turn it on the fog while the engine not running, it worked perfect.. then after i start my engine for 5 secs the fogs flicker like hell.. then 30 secs later one of the fog not even working.

And i left the shop.. drive back home thinking might be i put the ballast on the wrong place.. then i got home and toke everything apart and try again.. still..
Here the vid i toke


I have been waiting too long already to get my HID done ( 2 months more or less )

As if for now.. what should i do... ? IM I SCREWED? i did do some research on the problem.. not much info found..
Suggestion?

i really want to get the Fog done to complete the look


Thank you for your time to read and reply.

You need the error cancellation cable which have capacitor to clear that flickering

I am very sorry to read of your experience. I have never done business with the vendor you used so I can't comment on the vendor one way or the other. The HID fog shoud not flicker like yours does.

What I can tell you is that I have a lot of lighting mods (including HID fogs) in my 550 and have purchased them all from member brabusw209amg (John). John is a terrific, stand up guy. His products are excellent as is his customer service.

Wow

i love this forum.. so fast response..!! and very helpful..

About that " Error Canceling Cable " Is it guarantee to work? or there's alot of chance to work?

If so where can i get those? What about the one that doesnt even work? Will the cable make it work?

Thank you

OH.. almost forgot.. John is a good guy.. i bought some light from him too

John@Motorcepts

i can get u a set of error cancelling cables. But ur better off buying my entire kit. It's all up to me. PM me if you need more help or questions

UPDATE.

First thank john.. but i don't want to trash the hid which i paid 200 cnd for..

Also,

He has told me to cut off the wire from the ballast take picture with numbers on them.

I will do ask requested and see how it turns out.

Thank for looking.

we have been fine with mtec hid kits, error free and it doesnt flicker at all

Trinity Autosport

So your hid kits DO NOT need ANY error cables? Or does it just come with it?
