I recently just bought an hid conversion kit for my fogs (9006).
I hooked everything up correctly but the lights wont turn on, the guy i bought them from tried to sell me some harness or resistor saying that i needed it but i passed because i have read that others dont use them.. could it be that i do infact need them?

hey i just got my hid kit from a vendor that deals alot with bmw's, he said depending on your car model and year you might need a wiring harness and resistors. For 6 series he says you'll need them. I wont have mine installed for another couple weeks though so i cant tell you how they are.

it is literally plug and play even with the harnes. I will take pics of everything plugged up.. the hardest thing in my opinion would be finding a place to mount the ballast and how.. I think I'm going to mount it with double sided tape instead of the screw... I will def get the pics for you

How did everything turn out? I am having the same problems and my vendor is trying to sell me a harness. Do you have any instructions on how you did yours?

i didnt get to install them, the car was totaled before i could!
If the harness has the resistors on it you need them or else they wont turn on.
Its all very easy it should all be plug and play.
