I got i,,,, I got it,,, I got it,,, I had to switch the pos and neg like James told me on the phone when I ordered them!!!!!!!!!!! I am a moroon when it comes to electrical!!!!! So anyway, I broke one of the pieces and am wondering if you guys think Advanced Auto will have it here is a picture! When I pulled the wires out,,,, the metal connectors that go in here broke and I cant get it to connect for power. The other side works like a champ!! Man I am a dumb ***!!!
I Like Soup,
I should be getting in a E55 tomorrow, I will post a DIY for you guys.
drop997stop,
I left you a message yesterday, give me a call if you have not figured out how to do the install. Also as for your ghost amber bulbs, please let me know which ones you recieved, as this is the first that I've heard of us sending you the wrong bulbs.

Just like I told you way back in post #4 of this thread. And then a second time in post #20 after it was clear to me you were on the wrong track. I now understand why you are having soo much trouble. Slow down, take the time to learn from others.

you should never handle one that is electrified. You should install the kit completely before powering it up. The igniter may be damaged from reverse polarity call James for a warranty replacement.

That is not right... do you have the error canceler connected on that side? If so, try switching the ballast from the left to the right and see if the problem follows. If so, sounds like possibly a bad ballast, let me know either way and i'll get you a ballast if needed.

I did,,, the right side works on both sides but the one I started onthe left works on neither unless I give it a tap or two. So that is how I eliminated the bulbs.

when you take the bulb out, look at the rod on the bottom of the bulb right underneath the glass portion of the bulb. Is it cracked?

not yet
I have my kit sitting at home, the kit is NOT plug and play on a e63. There is a seperate adapter taht you need to lock the bulb in place thats not included
I spoke to James and he said he would get me one last week but havent heard from him.
I am wondering if these will even work a 63 due to the fog lights turning on and off everytime we turn. It will probably burn ou the bulb pretty quickly
