I choice to put HID 35watt with 6000k
And there is a cable in between so the lights will not give any error in the dashboard. But now the problem is sometimes when i start my car i get a Left or right bulb error and the light does not go on. Then i have to turn it off and on manually and the light will go on. Reading the ebays instructions for installing HID XENON after market you can not keep the automatic turn on lights. You can only turn on manually?
Does anyone has any problems like me?

And also now i want to change the Halogene angelrings after looking on the internet i heared i need H1. I wanted to buy the Halogen Lampen Xenon Optik BMW X5 H1 H3 H4 H7 H11 HB4 bei eBay.de: Designleuchten Lichter (endet 09.01.11 17:29:19 MEZ)

according on the site it gives 6000k light so same as xenon does anyone has experience with this?
Maybe i will take out the Xenon Hid h7 also and replace them with these bulbs because i get stressed by the error it comes and goes.

It sounds like you have a bad bulb or ballast. The inexpensive HID kits are made in China/Taiwan and the quality control is terrible. It's very common for these parts to fail.

For most bmw's they require a relay kit which has capacitors built in and needs to be powered by 12v, this relay kit is used to energize the HID Kit which helps power the HIDkit an prevents the problem from having bulb failure problems. this method works a treat fitted loads here in UK an bmws are easy to do providing you use the right kit.

This IS the firm i buy kits from.
Xenon HID Headlight Upgrade Kits from HIDS 4U - H7, H4, H1
