Nice! Take some pics man. Those halos are beautiful to look at.

I had no errors today except for the yellow "!" symbol. The weather was 50+ degrees and it seemed to help.

I'll check with my dealership if they can fix this remaining error. Otherwise I'll buy parachute's harness.

Hey Jae. Nope, I still have the errors unfortunately. I bought parachute's error-removal harness last Tue and still waiting for him to ship it out. I also bought the BMW pins to improve my wiring connections. Hopefully I'll be error-free once I'm done with these tweaks.

Update:

Finally got the BMW pins needed to "properly" connect the ground wire to the headlight plug. I think this solved my lighting system error (raised car icon in red) and the annoying chime that goes off every 10secs or so.

I still get the low-beam error and chime when I turn on the headlight but it goes away within 10secs. Tonight I drove for an hour and for most of it there was NO error whatsoever while I was driving. The low-beam error comes on when I hit potholes but it also goes away in a few secs.

I'm waiting for parachute's error removal harness and might install it this coming weekend. Hopefully his harness will fix everything else. I'll try to call my dealer as well for a possible re-program before I install parachute's harness.

I installed my set of euros a few days ago. I did not use the shutter at all, you don't need it. I'm error-less, xenons and everything turn on fine.
If your wiring is faulty or loose at all.. it will cause an error on the computer.

Good job in reviving this thread. Haha.

Anyways, here's the install DIY for parachute's harness.
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...ight=parachute

It's quite straightforward. If you can do the conversion then this is a piece of cake.

From memory, I think it alters some of the wire routing, taps the headlights power from the battery, and a new fog light harness is added to suppress the computer errors relating to the xenon lighting.

Good luck.
