Ok, a little off topic but here goes...

I have an older generation set of H7 Apexcones that I went to install in an 08 Audi Q7's fogs. Everything went well until I went to fire the first one up... The light comes on and then after a few seconds the car shuts down power to just that fog lamp. I used a test light to confirm that this is happening on the body side, not the Ballast or Bulb. Now, since I didnt have the other side hooked up yet do you think this could be a cause due to unequal amperage draw?

Does anyone have any insight or has this occurred on any other vehicles? I would really like to get these installed and working correctly. Thank you!

Jimmy

You might have to wire in resistors. I remember when I tried installing my hid fogs into my dad's e60 they wouldn't even power up yet they work fine on my e46. After searching I saw resistors would fix the problem. Not positive that's the resolution for your case but it's something worth researching.

Any more insight on the resistors.

Any more insight on the resistors.
50W 60ohm is whats used on the e60.
Here's a guide on how to wire the resistors on an e65.
