Ground: Fender---Negative from Error Canceller---Pin 2
Power: Harness---Positive from Error Canceller---Pin 3 There should not be a short with the rings if the harness wire for pin 1 and pin 4 is not altered. Do the turn signals operate correctly? |

One other thing, did you alter the canceller? If you are using the same one I have, it has two sets of wires (in/out). The ground from the fender and power from the harness should use one side. The second set should run to the pins on the light assembly.

The power for the rings comes from pin 1, the turn signals use pin 12 I believe. Both share the same ground (pin 4). The xenons require a dedicated ground (pin 2).

Did the wiring exactly as you told me as i didn't have that wiring. But still same thing. As soon as i switch on the car, few seconds/minute later, angle eyes switch them selves off. Really don't know.
So here is what i did: Harness(+) - error canceler- pin3 Fender - error canceler - pin2 |

Another thing that might help is that as soon as i turn off the car when angel eyes are switch off, all car light are completely off when xenon lights switch is on position while car still turned off.
I will then remove the key and put it back in and everything is fine again until car is turned on. |

Hi CentralPA,
While testing i noticed something else. After some time, i tied turning on the car again and as i was telling everything works. While everything was still working (even angle eyes) i tried the side blinkers and something strange happened. Blinkers started to blink fast and angle eyes went off. I think that i have something wrong in voltage or i am missing something. But i did everything how you told me. On a side note, can it be that all this is happening because i am only connecting only one xenon headlamp for testing and leaving the other side with the normal halogen once? |

Out of ideas. I have had my car wired as described for close to a year, no issues. What errors are you getting on the dash? I have the high beam error on startup (shutter works fine though).

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/196/img1273n.jpg Is this the same module that you have? also, since i am getting more then one error on the dash, could it be that the car is going in safe mode, thus i have to purchase a cade and code these error not to come up on the dash?? If yes, what cable do you recommend please? I appreciate if you can help get his headlights to work and not spend 800 euro for nothing |

Harness is referring to the wires that run to the headlight assembly. I never checked the frm in my car, but build date was 2/09. Would imagine bmw kept the same wiring order across the 1-series lineup. If you have wired the car up as described everything should work correctly.

thanks for your help. I think the difference is the module then. By car is of 2006 and module is older and so it's it works different. I think next step is to purchase a footwell module. (FRM3)
