lol i fixed them guys! thank you for all the help!

fixed by rewiring the fog light. i cut a hole instead of using the original plugs.
i also changed the fuse. my dumb ass had the wrong fuse in the fog light lol

thank again guys!

double check every connection again, And I'd suggest alittle better elec tape job, just cause its so close to the road and piece of mind is a beautiful thing.

first of all you voided you warranty on those hids now :) good job!

this is the route i went, http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=834566

you should have went this route!!

Should haves and could haves doesn't help him. Try checking the connector plugs and the pins they connect to. Make sure they're not corroded so its getting good contact.







But you should have done it the other way lol

are you testing this with the engine running or off?

I followed the same DIY and found the buzzing to be coming from the metal connectors in the cap that goes on the back of the fog light. W

What I did was disconnected the wires from the bulb to the connector, pull the metal prongs out with a pair of pliers, and run the wires from the bulb out the back of the cap and seal it with silicon. Worked just fine.

there goes some $$$, new bulbs will cost you $80.50 shipped from ddm

HID bulbs do not have a filament (wire) connected between the two electrodes. From the photo, it looks like your bulb is not blown.

CHECK YOUR FUSES.

I thought my D2S ballast blew, so I bought another one and that side still wouldn't light up. Checked my fuses and saw that the driver's side was blown hence no firing. :mad:

checked them they were good.:(

on

I wouldn't have cut the wires coming from the ballasts or the bulbs.. the wires it comes with are insulated very well to prevent arcing under the high voltage.. i'd go back and silicone all those connections, especially with the vibrations in cars, it'll start arcing eventually.

I'd pull the bulbs back out and wire them directly to the ballasts and see what happens, you could be having a problem in the back plug on the fog, or the wiring going through it.

Also, make sure you're using a GOOD 12v source - I tried testing my HIDs with a car battery charger and it wasn't enough to overcome the startup load.

Good luck!

Maybe high beam fuses are out? Worth checking before you get down to diagnosing the wires :dunno

I don't know why you didn't just ask me... I live like 20 mins from you. Chop chop.

haha i know right. im afraid you are going to charge me. i think i fixed them. they are working when i attach the hid and fog light bulb though the low beam source. when i attach them to the fog light source it doesnt work.

nice, good thing they're working


are all of your fuses good?

Charge you for a simple Foglight HID install!? Bwaahahahahaaa!

Now call me back.

check power at foglight relay, and make sure all your fuses are good.. I switched mine to 5A more than what was in there already when I installed my HID's to prevent blowing on startup.

haha thankfully they worked. i am really enjoying the fogs. i will post up pics tomorrow.
