Hi guys,

first of all i want to excuse myself for the poor English at some times, that's because i am Dutch and English isnt my daily way of talking.
I've searched this forum, but couldn't get a clear anwser for my question.
At this moment im driving a BMW E60 of september 2009 (that will be MY 2010 i guess), without OEM-xenon lighting. But the standard H7 halogen bulbs cant fulfil my demands. That is the main reason why im looking for a HID-upgrade. Sadly enough i still cant find a good functioning kit in The Netherlands (working without 'bulb-out errors'), because my car has fibre glass wiring for the CANBUS-system.

So my question is: Do you guys know a plug and play kit for my car? Or do i have to use error cancellers/resistors?
And do the 55 watt xenon kits get hotter then the 35 watts, or other reasons why i shouldnt get the 55's. I thought that the 55 watt kit should work because the standard halogens are also 55 watts -> that resulting in a smaller change of not working..

Could you perhaps help me further along? I would appreciate that a lot!
