Ok, appreciate the responses. On a side note, i dont think is related but last week, my 8000k HID bulb 'burnt out', only the right one went off, i swap back the oem and everything works fine now, but decided to put an order for 10k. The guy that takes care of everything told me it might have been the quality of the bulbs that caused it to burn out. had the same brand on the E53 for like 2 yrs w/o any problems what so ever. hope everything goes back to normal.
