I have a 2010 E60, i put 8000K hids in my low, fogs, and high beams. I need to wire my car to were the fogs and highs will stay on at the same time! please help. thanks in advance!!

You put HIDs for your high beams as well? It really isn't advised since HID requires warm up time, and flashing them on/off greatly reduces their life cycle.

As for allowing them to stay on at the same time, it can be coded without wiring.

well i dont actually flash them, i just turn them on. but how do i code them?

Go read up on the NCExpert coding threads, or see if there's a member around you that can do it for you.

You don't know how to do it?

If you have xenon from the factory and put the 'Flash to pass' constantly on you may melt the reflector. One of the members here had halogen and switch to Xenon headlight assemblies and did not wire his lights correctly. The inner bulbs (they are not high beams on Xenon equip cars but actually just flash to pass lights) melted the reflector when he had what he thought were the the high beams on.

So, if you have factory xenon?s the inner lights work only as ?flash to pass.? If you have halogens then the inner bulbs work as ?flash to pass? as well as high beams. Because the inner lights are designed soley to beused as ?flash to pass? on xenon equipped cars they may not be able to handle theconstant heat.

I didn't know that, but I had halogen in my lows. Mine didn't come with xenons.

I do, but I don't code remotely. So nothing I can do for you.

That's not entirely correct. The reason his reflectors melted is because he retrofitted, but it was incomplete. His high beam was operating at higher temperature of what it should be otherwise. Realistically, this shouldn't be an issue, otherwise BMW would have put it in the manual saying that you shouldn't have your high beams on for x amount of time, or have some kind of recall.

well is there any way i could do them? i mean it is the reason i posted a thread about it, to see if anyone could tell me how to do it.

Which is what I said above. Go read up on the coding threads that's on this board.
