HID Fog Error Canceler...

Hey guys,

I was on DDMTuning since that is the site i used most oftenly to order HID kits for my previous vehicle and no issue with the HIDs at all and lifetime warranty.

I want to get a set of HIDs for the fogs, 10000k to be exact in order to match the LCI angel eyes.

Can someone please tell me what I need to cancel the errors/flicker of the fogs. I know there was an error canceler that some people used, but not sure what it was.

Please help

They also sell a kit that works error free on this car in the BMW section.

Well i already have the HIDs from DDM Tuning, i just need to purchase the 10000k bulbs from them because the bulbs I have are not H8.

the error cancelers that are in the link posted above, they work good? The HIDs will work fine without flickering or anything?

They should. Error cancelers basically create more resistance. They all work on the same principal. HPB only buys the high quality stuff. Shoot them an email if you have any questions.

Is it possible to code it out instead?

If you got the 55 watts they won't work plain and simple. But if you have the 35 watts you can either try the code eliminators (which didn't work for me) or you can try splicing in two 4700uf resistors from radio shack (which works flawless) I say try the resistors first cheap and fast.

I just soldered in my own capacitor about 5 bucks each from RadioShack. There's a DIY I think it's called like hid's as easy as 60.95 or something like that

Wait.. One says to use resistor, one says capacitor. Which is it? And do I do it in series or in parallel?
