Looking for some help finding HID Fogs for the 550i.

I bought some from Erick (EliteMotorsports) a few years ago for the 545i that were awesome. I cant get a hold of him...

Anyways i have found sources for the (SuperNova) HID kits but cannot find anyone with plug and play, inline, Resistor boxes to prevent error codes and flickers...

Any ideas or Vendors out there?

Thanks!

I just purchased from John (Motorcepts) and they are almost here. No OBC errors reported from others and easy to install so very excited to get them installed. Plus top notch service and support from John. He sent out the package right away.

I just did this with the projector-type foglights for my 545, looks so much better!

i would check out ddm tuning, ...like 45 dollars for a set of slim ballasts...10 dollars more for error cancellers . everyone seems to have the mentality that if there cheap there garbage which in this case is not true.. had the set it my fogs for a year now, no problems what so ever, and they have a 1 year warranty

I just bought HID fogs from John at Motorceprs and he installed them for me. They work and look great. No errors, no problems. John was great to work with and I highly recommend working with him.
