DIY: Xenon lights in halogen housing

guycollege: It's my own high quality kit that I offer to the Lotus community.

I don't plan on selling these to the BMW crowd. My car still annoys me by throwing random error codes. The weird thing is that it only does it during the day. Is there a light sensor on these cars that reduces the headlight voltage during daylight hours?

I just finished a group buy at $225 shipped with a lifetime warranty. Ballasts are German made and weigh in at only 8 ounces with the igniter

Yes e90 come with sunlight sensor...

when you turn the headlight knob...you can see the "A" for automatic sensor "O" off...etc...

Do you know where it is? I want to disable it to see if the random errors stop occurring. I always drive with my headlights on for safety reasons (and to continually test my HIDs

)
