Halogen to HID's

hey guys,

ive recently installed some new HID's didnt check on the forums before purchasing and installing them, but i bumped into the light error problem.

wondering if anyone out there has ever tried those add-on's for the error delete modules.

for example:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....m=300161727389

how much do u guys know about these things? And has anyone used these before? does it actaully work and removes the error message?

all feedback and suggestions would be great

From looking at that auction...that is a fog light plug. Haven't seen one for us Halogen->Xenon headlight swappers.

As for Parachutes kit, have you tried to find any resister combination to replace the 27w bulb?

We all know that you don't want to spend a lot of money jetblk328i....

But seriously, it would be nice to have a one-piece plug-in unit that takes care of this without the splicing.

my solution does not require splicing, is pretty much plug and play.
only catch is that fogs turn on with the low beams (which I like)

Marc,

I tried the UED HID kit with the error control module for my foglights last week when I installed the M-Tech kit. It seems to be working without any error code
