So I installed some goodies over the holiday and I am very dissapointed to say it looks like my hard work did not pay off this time.

I installed a 35W H11 HID kit in the fogs.. And like all other set's I've installed, it wired up and bench tested perfectly. I have both burning fine in Key pos 1 & 2 with parking light circuit on car not running. I button everything up and go to test......

So I turn the key and get the X5 running. Hit the fogs and one lights up then the other then they flicker and go out one after another.

I check my coding and my LCM has all monitoring off. COLD, Warm And HOT.. no check control at all.

I hit the HID low beams. same deal. the fogs wont stay on. while the car is running. One time I turned them on while my lows were on and I get the SLS inactive message and the lows flickered and the drivers side bulb quit working. I turn the car off and back on and the SLS message is gone but when I hit the fogs the LKM starts freaking out again. flashing fogs and lows...It even populated my washer fluid low waring on the MID in German briefly.....

I'm not very happy with this LCM right now. To me it's looking like it can't handle the load of two set's of HID ballasts at once.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to hard wire the fogs with a relay on a separate 12v circuit and use WDS to find the 12V on for my OEM fog switch so I don't have to wire in a separate switch...that's alot of work for what should be a plug and play installation.

Venting here does make me feel a bit better but I still have no HID fogs
That is unless I'm parked without the car running then they looks great....
Alot of good that does me.

Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated.
