Is there anything specific I have to do in installing this kit so that I will not throw any codes?



Should I get 9005s or 9006s?

Is there anything specific I have to do in installing this kit so that I will not throw any codes?



Yep, the only way it won't throw codes is if you don't install it.

I mean, seriously, $19.95? :nono

Ok, to be honest, $79.95 after $55 shipping. It has a 1-year warrenty, but you pay shipping. Wanna bet that after it breaks the shipping is, again, $55? Thats probably the total cost of the unit plus shipping! The manufacturer didn't even put their name on the ballasts, that says a lot about their quality.

Lots of the E34 guys are raving about this kit. Again, I dont care about quality, only fitment. Can anyone help me figure out what to order.

PS Volusia County sucks.

Save yourself the trouble of Ebay HIDs and buy this Kit from Habbie:

At least you will have the piece of mind of purchasing from a vendor and know that you'll have customer service.

you will never really get any help from anyone here if you want to purchase a kit from ebay, but either way, since that kit draws 3.5 amps vs the stock 6 amps, yes it will throw a low beam failure(thats on an e36, not sure if e34 has the same check module)

Not worth it....like others said, go through a supporting vendor on here. Check the group buy section, there are some HID kits for sale there.

LOLOLOLLLOLOL!! wtf is a "earthquake test?"

good luck with an Ebay kit

my friends and i have actually had really good results with ebay HID kits... i would go for it personally... IMO it's the same quality, the only difference is if it breaks, you have no one to go to.

obviously its a vibration test....

Lets use that word in a sentence.

You car vibrates as it travels over uneven surfaces.

What the hell, man? :confused

Thats pretty darned childish, totally off topic and not really called for. You asked for opinions, you got one, no need to go off and start insulting where I live.

I have those HIDs and they work fine... and it does not throw any codes on my e36.

If it does throw a code there is a small ballast to buy, I think it's called "Warning canceller" or something, it cost $20 and removes the the code.

Nice, douche.

blah blah blah
I bought an excellent kit from this guy, use it in my fogs in my 540. Had them for 3 months no issues whatsoever.

96.60 incl. shipping any color any bulb
comes with actual BRACKETS rather than double sided tape on the ballasts, too

Shipping China --> NYC in 2 days!!!
he also has a lot better choices in colors.

for every success ebay story there are about 50 horror stories, not very many people will admit in the open that they made a mistake, we deal with this type of situation every day.
its always cheaper to do it right the first time however some have to learn the hard way just to save a few bucks.

My cheap ebay bulbs actually have lasted a really long time, they were nearly 4 for the price of one Prolumen bulb and I've been running them for nearly a year now with no problems. I would definitely recommend them as a much cheaper alternative and they are warranteed too.

They are the same as these:

These are the 4.3K I got for my GF's car, I was going for an OEM look on her car:

Sorry man. I was being playful. I used to live in Daytona Beach. I figured you would catch that because when I'm on forums I usually put Daytona Beach/NH but i guess I didnt on this forum. I went to ERAU for a few years. Ormond Beach is nice, but Daytona kind of sucks.

Actually the whole area kinda sucks. :lol

Ormond is about as good as it gets. Used to live in Holly Hill, oye, talk about a hole!

Resistor or ballast ? Ive just never heard of the LBF ballast fix
