Anyone have problems after installing the H.I.D. fogs with the parking sensors chirping away all the time and showing objects in front when there is nothing there?
Maybe the ballasts are interfering with the PDC?

I installed the L.E.D. from MAX5. Really disappointed in these lights. You can hardly even see them in the Daytime with the DRL's. At night you can see them, but they are not that bright. I would say that in DRL mode they are about 25% the brightness of the OEM bulbs. Anyone have similar experience? I changed out the L.E.D.'s after about three weeks and reinstalled the OEM bulb and the difference is astounding on the brightness.

The LEDS are crap.. one side (resistor) burnt out ater 2 hours.. I've wired in new resistors to fix 'em as I couldn't be bothered returning them....They are a waste of money ...do not get them...The patent must have cost them a bomb as they charge so much for these and they are below average.

I have the Racing Dash LED's. While I wish they were brighter and more white, I have not had any problem with them after using them for several months.

Ideally, I'd like to see a nice intense white like the Audis.

Great to hear .. you are the lucky one.. one side burnt out after 1 hour... I couldn't be bothered returning them ...as it would have cost more in shipping and trying to convince they were defective... btw... the encapsulated resistors get a nice little smell about them .. I'd be wary they don't catch fire.

Any one have any problems with these H.i.D. kits purchased here? I bought one, it has lasted about 4 months and now the ballast and module blew. I got a message on the IDrive of a fog light malfunction. When I checked the H.I.D. there was smoke coming from the cancellation module and ballast with a burning smell. It came with a 1 year warranty I believe, now I have to track down Max5 to see if I can get a replacement. I am waiting for a reply.

Can you tell me what brand were they... did it include a relay kit to direct wire to the battery also ?
