Morning ladies and gents,

So I'm actually looking to get a set of HIDs for my fogs on my '08 and I'm kind of stuck. Now to my knowledge, unlike my old E39, I MUST have canbus ballasts in order to avoid getting codes for my bulbs right?
More than anything I'm looking for a reputable vendor, whether it be on the forum or on Ebay, etc. I keep hearing different people complain about the output and life of ballasts that they receive with their kits especially the "Xentec" kits. I really want to avoid anything of overly cheap quality.

Any feedback would be a help in my small quest. Just dont want to waste my $ is all.

Thanks!

i had a cheap Hid kit and tried doin it on my fogs yeah didn't work>.>
Someone recommended high performance bulbs they had them in their e90 and they said easy plug on with no relay! I didn't get around to buying them yet but I wanna know what you do keep it posted!

Thats my concern. and like I mentioned, I know there has to be a canbus ballast, or a error/warning canceler between the ballast and the bulb. I just want to get it done right the first time!

Right now Im looking at this:

but Im really cautious about Ebay. Hence my need for a recommendation.

More interested in a specific vendor. And I was actually looking for 6000K to match my AE's. 10K is too blue for my liking. Thanks though.

If anyone knows a local place in the NYC area I'd take a drive as well.

I bought cancelers like that and they didn't fit! Ill post pic in a little the bumps for the stock fog light was in the way

Buy the set along with cancellers all at once and same place should do. Yes, will need to hv them to work or will hv error on dash and flickering

I know that I need them, my question is more along the lines of WHERE.
I don't want to buy from any random place or random Ebay vendor. I used to have a local shop to get them from, but they closed a year or two ago.

I recently fitted LED Bulbs to my fogs. I have an M Sport with the HB4 bulbs. Installed fine and worked fine but threw up a bulb blown error. I then bought the resistors from the the same seller I bought the bulbs from (which he gave me half price) and all it was was a cable with a HB4 male to HB4 female and inline resistor and all works perfect now.

I'd definitely like to see a pic of those too! Do u have them in any of ur posts/threads? I've always been skeptical because I can't picture them being anywhere near as bright as HIDs or even the yellow halogens I currently have.

Main thing you should check is ask yrself what are you trying to achieve with the fogs. Form or function

Both. LOL
I actually ended up calling DDM to get an estimate on shipping time and it wasn't bad. So I ordered my HID kit from them.

[lorpatho]

Yea, the LEDs will look nice but i'm sure is not up grade to provide enough light output in the fog housing vs halogen/HID. Be sure to pickup the canceller too. Hope it will all work out well

[Hally_89]

Here's a pic of the LEDs during the day. Look and work very well but like Lorpatho said they wouldn't be as bright as HIDs but all the same I'm very happy with the outcome.

Here's a pic of the inline resistors too.

[McAuley7]

Let's see them when there on and thought should just show when I did have it working 10000k fog

Myself and everyone that I know have $30 HID kits and just coded out the errors and have been running without issues ever since.
