hey all, was thinking of putting on hid's onto our ng900. probably going 6000k for both head and fog lights. But I was wondering if that'd trigger any sensors?
just wondering as on our e46 3 series after I put the hid on the light switch wouldnt turn it on so I needed to hook it up to a separate switch. and would also get an error saying the lights do not work.
Some people get the error, some dont. If you get it, you have to get a capacitor to put in line with the HID ballasts to trick the car into thinking they are regular bulbs. They are on ebay, pretty cheap.
When I go to HIDs eventually, Im going to do the same setup as you (maybe not the fogs).
I put Took the HIDs out of the NG i'm selling and put them into the Vig. Eventually want to get the Projectors for it.
If you do a search there is a ton of info on putting HIDs in these cars. MIne are 10000k
O and I run mine all the time so people can see me. I run the fogs so i don't blind people like you do if you have them in the headlights without retrofitting projectors...
Im thinking about getting the Omni-X Bi-xenon kit (6000k) for the sake of quality. I dont think glare is that bad at all on the stock headlights (even with DOT lenses) as long as you aim them properly, at least from what I saw at Carlisle.

It's not.... I haven't been high beamed once since I've had mine.
And there is no need to pay the price for that Omni kit... I paid about $120.00 shipped for my hi/low kit with slim digital ballasts which are much more reliable and easier to mount/hide.
Maybe it's just the kit i have but it seems to have better lighting on low than high as far as seeing distance, also the white/blue changes to yellow if you put them on hi beam.
That's because yours are HID low with the little halogen bulb on it for hi's... these are the really cheap sets. You need the ones like mine. They have a solenoid that pops them up.
on a side note, how do i adjust the vertical aim of my headlights? my drivers side headlight is currently aimed about 3 feet in front of the car on my white 900, while on my black 900, they are aimed at the moon.
US cars don't have that second knob. It's on the back of the adjuster motor that our cars don't come with. The one that you saw is for horizontal adjustment. Vertical adjustment is done with a hex key or a long Phillips screwdriver stuck through one of the holes in the sheetmetal above the headlight. Sometimes it helps to take the whole headlight out to see what you're looking for. You also might want to make sure that the bulb was seated properly. It shouldn't need adjustment if you just replaced the bulb.
When I adjusted my lights, the knobs made the headlight beam go up or down. Or at least, thats what I thought haha.
