[QUOTE="leforte, post: 156509, member: 1943"] valkrie 1. obc will show low beam failure if you do a direct tap from the low beam harness. simple fix would be to take out the two tiny bulbs (front parking lights) in the headlights. it eliminates the OBC message, its a rather temporary solutions. A permanent solution should you want the parking lights back on is to install a relay on the low beam harness to trick the OBC. I went with the former solution for my e36 for now, but will experiment with the latter solution on my cousin's car tomorrow...hehehe sometimes its just good to experiment on someone else's car first. will let you know on the wiring formula later. 2. all e36/46 with the leveling control will realigned itself upon startup. its just the selenoids firing up and going back to the stored position. the opposite actually happens everytime we turn off the lights whereby the selenoids retracts and goes back to the lowest position. SO, don't bother with this as you will be aligning them with the lights on. 3. no problem with alignment. however the e36 do required a slight dremelling of the rear cover to increase the depth of the rear cover. no modification required for the e46. 4.for the e36, the new projector fits inside the original light housing. as for the e46 just reuse the rubber cover to cover the new HID projector and the sockets just plug right over it like the original halogen setup. both car were parked out side, even after the heavy rain just now, no leaks so far.....
