HID fogs E90

AMT92 · 07-20-2009, 03:33 AM

Now before you tell me to

I already did.

I'm looking for a error free solution to HID fog lights. I have a couple of options.

1. This ebay kit that people have claimed is plug and play with no errors, just not sure about it, cuz well it's ebay lol.

2. This DDM tuning kit with the capacitor trick, but I'm not sure if the capacitor will work on a 2006.

3. This raptor brand kit, my friend has this installed on his FX45 and they're bright as F*CK but I'm not sure about the error codes and such on bmw's.

any advice is appreciated!

I am getting the Mtec Cosmos H11. They seem to have a tint of blue to them as that is the look I am going for. I recently puchased and installed the RD V2Angel Eye kit from E92lighting, I was extremely satisfied with them as they have a pretty intense blueish tint. I will be installing the Cosmos later on this week (that is if they arrive when I think they will), they came highly recomended, I will post pics when all said and done.
Hope this helps a lil.

i dont think there is any sure brands that are error free... i have heard MTEC was a good brand that worked 90% of the time but i still see post of people with MTEC kits that do not work. I think your best sure bet is just go with the ddm slim line and do the capacitor trick it has worked in 07/08/09 so far never heard anyone try on an 06 yet. good luck! As for that raptor brand first time hearing about it but thats really cheap if you get those please let us know how they work.

i might just go with the slimline ddm kit just to be safe

T7R_Sky · 07-20-2009, 09:02 PM

I have some HID kits from a loal place and they work just fine as foglights. I havent had any problems yet

MWcoupe · 09-09-2009, 01:48 PM

im thinking about getting the 35w ddm kit with eliminator. update me if u get it first. hope it works. i know the 2006 is a pain. the 08+ works with alot of regular kits

Quisp · 09-11-2009, 10:56 PM

u also drive a 2007

Quisp · 09-13-2009, 09:01 AM

Yes, 2007 coupe. Had 6000k bulbs but switched to 3000k, what a difference. Easier on the eyes, less strain at night. Better view of things coming from sides of the road like deer. The 6000k are great and bright but the headlights do a great job with the straight ahead and the reflectors in the fogs seem to be made for a wide spread rather than headlight beam so the yellow works great for me. nobody asked but thought i would toss that in there
