If you can figure it out please let us know! Many have tried but most setups are not seamless. There is an error message when they're installed 'bulb out'.
This republican would love to have it but so far..... Joker

I have it...Looks and works awesome...

Xenon need less power to charge and thats why system thinks the fog lights are faulty...

In order to have avoid the mistake...You switch the ingnition ON, switch fog lights ON, wait for 5-10secs, the system needs to adjust, then start the car and you wont have any mistakes...or switch ignition ON, turn onfog lights, switch off, then switch on and start the car without wating...Thats is the only ways...

Lightbulb HID Output Halogens!

You could save a lot of money, and eliminate the Fault light problem by going with some HID output Halogens.

I've went through 5 or 6 different ones trying to match the Xenon's, and I found the PIAA Xtreme white Plus is close to a dead match...

You should replace the Highbeams also, as both the Xenon's and the Highbeams are on at the same time when you have the brights on, and that looks like Hell... Also the city lights look terrible next to the Xenon's I've replaced those with PIAA's as well...

Also Get Phillips Stealth Bulbs for the turn signals... It will get rid of that Fried Egg look.

Now Everything on my car matches, and it looks AWESOME!!

Best,

RoydRage
