Help with Fog HIDs

BRGmatthew · 12-02-2009, 08:02 PM

So i got 2 pairs of ddmtuning.com Raptor Kits. With 2 pairs of their error canceler-3. http://www.ddmtuning.com/products/Er...IR-130-94.html According to their description is says that some vehicles have reverse polarity which causes it to explode. And that DID happen to me today. It did the flickering thing that everyone mentions. And the error canceler Exploded. My lowbeams work perfect with this setup. But the fogs not so well. Can anyone help me? 2009 E90 LCI. Anyone think i should try these? http://www.ddmtuning.com/products/Er...IR-226-85.html

Sounds like the polarity is reversed, but I'd confirm with a multimeter. Reverse the connection at the plug and you should be golden.

I'm running 4700uf 35v capacitors since I heard the error cancelers don't work. This is a good read: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...=239236&page=3

My DDM resistors for fogs melted, I had to returned the kit and go back to stock.
someone should try MTEC hids, they're supposed to be error free.

MTEC bulbs never melt under any circumstance
