im guessing for your headlights you eighther get your car switched to XENON PRESENT using the star das computer, or you can buy the hid set that comes with the built in resistors..

I wasn't sure about the error messages either but these said they were plug and play. And thats exactly what they are. no wiring done on my own. Did NOT have to go get xenon=present, just opened the box and plugged in the lights. 35w with no errors!

Sorry for some reason they keep coming out blurry up close, here is the driver side headlight kit

The yellow and brown wires are from the stock headlamp for the H7 blubs







This is the entire kit from a far

did you just leave the dust cap off?????????

I don't know what's going on with your car but these kits WILL throw an error if used for the fog lights without error cancelers, resitors or capacitors.

sure, if you want moisture, dust, and other debris all over the inside of your headlamp housing.

Not to mention the possibility of a short or other electrical problems because the H7 connector (as seen in pic) uses a bare prong that's just slightly exposed.

I highly recommend drilling a 1" hole on the back of the dust guard and using the supplied grommet.

No the cap is on, didn't have the dust cap in when i installed them bc i wanted to see if i was gonna get error messages or not. They are the single beam kits

I will be gettin the fogs/ high beams eventually but im gettin my CL style grille next. Don't really need the highs yet since not many pple see me drive with them lol

Will I get an error because They have the Bi-Xenon for 72.99 which I think is a good price.

I hope down the line I dont get any errors or flickering.


Edit

What a wierd site they also sell Tatoo Kits looool
I dont know I hope these are the real deal.
