Thanks for the pics. Those look like resistors rather along with ballasts. Pretty sure they are resistors. Ballasts are much bigger than those gold things. Hmm.. Wonder how they wired the kit then. Unless your ballasts are mounted elsewhere (they must be). So if you could find a pic of the ballasts that would be good.
And it's a shame they had to drill into back headlight housing. If people are having moisture problems with LUX then surely this would be worse.
Problem is I also did a xenon retrofit (LCI) and the warranty period on retrofit items are only a year.. So if something goes wrong there is no crying to BMW about it and them replacing it on motor plan.. So gotta be careful.
While typing this post i did more research on the resistors you have installed:
Here is what I found:
Quote:
HID Kit Relay Wire Harness with Resistors
Allows the HID kit to be powered directly from the car battery
Works for vehicles that require a constant resistance across the headlight output (50W 6 Ohm J)
Bypasses the vehicles OEM headlight wiring
Allows for a more reliable HID installation
Wires insulated in split loom tubing for protection
Simple installation
Cancels Can-Bus headlight warning icon
Commonly found on newer Dodge and vehicles

So it seems these along with the Ballasts hmm.. Wonder if it is indeed better/more reliable because of this. Probably similar to the custom OSS HID angel eye harness kits etc.
P.S. What looks like the same wiring loom you have is $25 from the USA -

I think this thread is officially a HID angel eyes thread now
