6000k, Foglights alone are actually brighter then the OEM headlights
so I decided to always driving with angel eye + foglights only (don't hate me iceman)
This is when cigarette comes into use with photographing =d
In the garage
Some pictures of me and my friends' car, we try to make it style / color matching
Umm, not sure if this is allowed, but yea, might come in handy for e60 members, so not strictly an advertisement
http://www.qpop.com is my site, really handy when uploading lots of pictures, all these pics are hosted there
feel free to give it a try please ^^ I'll be improving it to make it as easy for u guys to use as possible

Nice fog lights Terry. Did you get that cable I showed you from Ebay? Works like a charm right?
Mine are the same exact thing, 6000k fogs, with 6000k d1S Bulbs.

EDIT: Whoops. I just saw your previous post. How did you end up fixing it? Sorry to hear it didn't work initially. I had no problem with it whatsoever. It was just plug and play.

I figured those problem are caused by the HID fogs drawing too much power from the battery suddenly
If I start the engine and let it run for like couple mninutes then i turn on the fogs, no problem at all =)
well in case around some crowdy place and I just wanna show off........... I don't mind sacraficing the head up display for a few minutes, lol

that's odd, cause in reality, the fogs are only 35watt's. and our original fogs are 55watts. With that plug, it takes away the error message and the blinking. It should be the same. Is it possible your battery is messing up or something?
But check it out, you dont want no electrical problems later. =D
Good luck man.
Now if i'm really crazy, I might just buy a little kit for HID high beams.. even though our high beams are our bi-xenons, maybe just get them when you flash high beam..
ok, maybe not, that would be a waste of money. HAHA.

Where are people buying these HID fogs and how much are they?
thanks
thanks
1 Million dollars!!!!!
I got my HID 6000k kit with bulb and ballast on ebay. it was 80 dollars. I got a cable to cancel the error message and stop the blinking for 24 dollars. so total, 104 for HID foglights. I installed it back in November and haven't had any problems.
I figured for the fog lights, a no-name brand HID kit would be fine. I really didn't want to spend 300-400 on HID's just for fog lights.
