hey guys,
i recently took out my HID headlights from my silverado and they are the same bulbs as the fogs on my 05 530i...9006's? correct? I wanted to know if I can use that kit to put into my fogs so i can have HID fogs??? What other mods would i need to do to get no error codes or anything, etc.??

Thanks guys, hope i can do this.

you would probably have to get the error cancellation cables.

we have fitted 2 cars with the HID in the fog lights and no error codes
no need to get the error cancellation cables.
there is a flicker at startup and we are DIY to fix it.
will let you know.

Correct, you can use this kit as your fogs light.

Error codes - depend on your HID transformer powerful enough or not? you can test under below condition.
Turn fog on but fickler then off under engine started. That means the HID transformer not power enough and you need to replace a bigger one.

Good luck for good mod.
