ok guys so i bought some HIDs for my fogs, i also got 2 50v 10000uF capacitors. I hooked them up between the positive and negative leads that go from the stock BMW harness to the ballast. I turned them on and "nothing". I checked everything and tried again, and 20 seconds later i hear a 'pop' one of the caps exploded.

The black wire from my ballast is going to the negative side of the cap and then to the brown oem wire for the fogs. Then the red wire from my ballast is going to the other side of the cap and to the yellow/brown wire of my fog harness.

Can anybody shed some light on what can be the issue? I tried the Hids without the caps and they work, but sometimes give errors.
