HID Fogs installed

Got HID Fogs installed today on the E90. Big thanks to Stan (335Recruit) for hooking it up.

They are 6000K no errors whatsoever, no cutting wires, no resistors, capacitors were used just straight up install.

It was raining so not the greatest pics, I'll try to take some night shots as well.

Thanks Guys!

I was just over at Stans and we threw them on to see what would happen if we installed HID's on the E90 (2006 330xi). Install was maybe 30 - 35 min tops. Real easy, basically swapping out the bulbs and finding a place to put the ballast.

Surprisingly no errors so far, I'll keep you guys updated.

As far as brand etc, honestly I have no idea you'd have to ask him.

Just got back in, I did some driving at night just w/ the fogs and they are pretty bright and I guess (hope) not annoying to those ahead of you. Rode on the Belt Parkway, Van Wyck, Grand Central, BQE, Gowanus, Ocean Parkway. Some side streets here in Brooklyn & Astoria. I mean there are street lights etc but you can def see the fogs are on w/ the xenons and w/o them. Wider spread of light down low as with any fogs

They are pretty close to the OEM Xenons, maybe a bit brighter? I'll take some day/night pics w/ the xenons today.

Still no errors. Maybe the stars are aligned perfectly and the moon is just right, who knows.

I have had an error free plug and play kit in my car for about a month now... Just trying to see if we are getting our items from the same place...
