u might want to return them since it may flicker and strobe and not work well with the BMWs. My kits are designed to work with the BMW without problems and for HIDs, I would go with 35 watts and not 50 watts. I also recommend upgrading the low beams to a color temperature matching your fog lights and high beams.
If you want to keep the 50 watts, most likely you'll need cancellers but they blow after a while.
PM me if you need help
