another successful HID install without reflash

BlackSapphireZ · 08-29-2007, 12:21 AM

i had my previous set take a dump on me(just one ballast) but i got a whole new kit as a warranty replacement. I was kind of skeptical of whether it would work with the car since i did have problems on a kit few years back.

I installed and turn the car on, no bulb out indicator nor flickering lights

so for $139+(shipping i believe) it's not a bad deal... i went from 6000k to 4300k cuz i wanted to see more.

on HID's

Got to love the HIDs

That's definitely something I miss when I use my truck.

Which system did you use?

BlackSapphireZ · 08-29-2007, 03:51 PM

some cheap one as u can see... no name brand

note that the cheaper kits do not work on the 04+

If you have an 04+ you need to use the MTEC. They are twice as much but are way more reliable.

half the kits out there do not work on the BMW's due to their weird electrical stuff
