Trouble with HID Fogs

GTHaus330i · 04-18-2009, 06:51 AM

I've recently installed a pair of HID Fogs but the passenger side one keeps going off after 3 mins or so. At first i thought it was a faulty bypass but after i changed it, both went out after 3 mins and the warning light comes on. The garage suggested me to wire it straight to the battery but i'm wondering if theres another way?

look like you might be missing or wrong resistor/CANbus.

usually when you install them without canbus or correct resistors, it will throw error and it will shut off after certain time like 1 min or so.

just had a success with the capacitor mod, i did the resistors using a 4 ohm and 1 ohm in parallel to the power going into the ballast, those however did not work. However i used a 2200uF 35volt electrolite capacitor in place of the resistor and VIOLA SUCCESS!!! PM ME if you guys need help i had a rather sensitive electrical system.
