can you code out all the cold and hot monitoring in the LCM? I have a feeling that is causing some sort of error with the added ballasts.

Are you running the Morimoto ballasts (XB35's) with the Canbus modules? And are you using genuine or aftermarket D2S bulbs??

Your fogs are still factory halogen bulbs correct?

Your answers may very well dictate your problem in my opinion.

I'm running stock halogens now bro. All back to stock.

And I was running the entire kit you originally suggested, with a set of OEM D2S bulbs, spares from my E39.

Ok thanks for refreshing my memory -

Something else is going on if you are back to halogens and still having the problem then.
