Hi All,

I just installed some Euro spec headlights, with D1S bulbs, and all the good hardware. I used 6000k bulbs I just received, New Btw.

Only problem that I just saw today,

The driver side headlight doesn't come on... takes probably 20 seconds to almost a minute before it comes on. Really odd.

After that, I tried switching it on and off and came on right away.


If I turned it off for more than a minute, turned it back on... and the driver side headlight would turn off.



So, my question is... could this be the bulbs fault? the HID harness? or the headlight fault?


Any insight would be great... Help!


BTW, I have a 2004, 530i (production year 09/2003). and before that, my HID's were working fine, US spec 4300k oem headlights.
