Being low on beans is a common problem in the E39's, but there is no good fix other than to take it to the dealer. They'll know what to do. But bring money, because adding beans to a BMW isn't cheap.

If you have upgraded you headlight to aftermarket HID's then your cars computer cant "see" your headlight, thus it thinks they are not working. Its a constant voltage issue, i think.

ddm tuning makes a trouble code cancelation module that will trick you ecu into thinking it is receving current from you headlights. Careful i have heard that some members have had them explode and distroy parts of their car. They even have a disclamer on ther website

http://www.ddmtuning.com/products/Er...IR-130-94.html

Some cars will generate a bulb out warning message or even turn the headlight/foglights off when connecting HID to them. Our cancellation modules fool the computer in the car and allow the HIDs to work flawlessly.

You will receive 2 at this price. These work on 93% of vehicles with computer related issues.

NOTE: Certain vehicles will require these to run HID's properly. ex. Dodges, Newer BMW's & Mercedes etc...

Warning: Some vehicles may have reverse polarity. Reverse polarity can cause a BOW to explode. We recommend wearing safety glasses and closing your hood before testing the BOW on your vehicle.
