I have to agree with the fact that alot of the kits sold on ebay are garbage but there are a few cheap kits that actually have worked quite well for me.
Alot of people who have tried installing HIDs into their fogs on bimmers have had problems not with the kit itself but with the amount of power the ballasts initially draw. Thats why some times one side will not come on immediately but will come on after a few minutes if you switch it on and off and certain ballasts won't power on at all no matter what you do. The only solution I found for this was to buy a custom wiring harness that allows you to tap in to the battery power direclty to run the ballasts for the fogs. The only problem I have found with that is your stuck with light-out errors because the error-cancelling boxes won't work with that harness as it uses its own relay. I have put days into trying to find a perfect solution and that is as close as I've come. I'm trying to find a way to disable the bulb check altogether from the ECU but I haven't quite gotten there yet. I'll keep you updated if I find a way.
