an error eliminator is just a resistor that makes the light circuit think the bulb is there by putting a load on it, i doubt that its not going to work.

 

^ from my understanding its a capacitor, not a resistor. In addition i've read that in 2011+ cayenne its errors when you have the lights on auto or when you turn them off. I've also read that on 2008-2010 cayenne it happens on fog lights when you turn them off. I'm wondering if headlights would be the same way. I don't want to deal with any errors popping up on the gauge cluster. Just makes the car feel broken...

 

At 26 I'd doubt cataracts unless you've been hanging around high power RF sources (they cook your lens..) or have had severe UV or sun exposure. But - still worth finding out if something is wrong.

And dunno on error codes.

 

Like everyone said, 100watts xenon is too bright. Pls also bear in mind the higher Kelvin u go, the lower light output you will have. 6000K is blue or bluish white, different brand will have different result on that. I am sure you don't want your car looks like a cheap jap.

well, on the other hand, light being too bright and "colorful" will bring you trouble too :roll eyes: my advice: stay as close as factory xenon setting. Those light gives you best illumination.

 

my intention was to go 3000k for the fog lights and the next increment up for the low beams (4000k, 4100k, 4300, 4500k) or whatever the vendor sells. I'm not into that blue look.

 

I'm very happy with the PIAA halogen bulbs. 2500K, super yellow, best mate for bad weather. Highly recommend !

 

^ i ended up putting some generic yellow coated ebay h9 bulbs into the fog lights. ended up almost as bright as a 35w HID kit. Not quite as bright, but no error warnings in the guage cluster AND i dont have to worry about flashing highbeams cutting power to the fog lights.

 

For whatever it is worth,

I put what seems like the exact same 100w HID kit into my TBSS a year ago, (Google my name over at TBSSowners) for my hi-beam. Worked like a charm, around 10k Lumens each, at 6,000K. 55w HID in the lows and 35w HIDs in the fogs, with a hi-fog and a hi-lo override relay installed too. At the time, the 9005s were only available with 24V ballast, so I had a customize a kit with a 12v ballast made for a H bulb. Quality was great. I saw the car last weekend and they still work fine.

Now; i live on a non-illuminated road with wildlife so this added a little bit security when dark out.

CAUTION: Hi beam gets really bright, so pay close attention and you need to be quick to turn off well before the opposing traffic sees your lights. My setup threw around 30k Lumens, so I had to be really careful.

As far as codes go, there are abundant amount of caps, or you can experiment a bit with separate wiring. These will pull more than stock current, and some wiring needs to be upgraded. I don't recommend finding that out the wrong way....

I am installing some 100w in my CTT within the next month and can report back on the code fix.

 

^ i'm going to wait to see how your project turns out before I do anything. I'd be using a relay of course, so i wouldn't be drawing the extra power from the stock wiring, but directly from the battery.

 

any mid-month progress?

 

I ordered them, but been travelling so no time to install yet.

 

I'll try next weekend.

 

yes you have to use a relay for 100w hid i think , but the hedlight have a 20a fuse in passenger side box and i think that its much?

i have put a 55w h7 kit in my headlight, i had the can-bus type but even with that i had a error message, so i put a small parking lamp over one thr driver side ballast and then no more problem, it light up my engine=)

55w its way more light then stock, i am very satesfied with my setup, but it was not easy to get a nice lightpicture cause the highbeam setting couldnt be done without takeing the whole light out.

 

^ i ordered the ddmtuning 55w hid kit with relay and error eliminator. i'll be installing it next week and i'll let you guys know what the result. worst case i suppose i'll use TommyH's solution

 

so i'm installing my 55w HID kit. Where are people hooking up their relay? I was thinking about hooking it onto the positive battery terminal in the engine bay. Also, as for running the wires out of the headlight housing and back in, how are people doing it? I was thinking about just drilling a 1"inch hole in the cover that pops out behind the lowbeam and shoveling the rubber grommet from the HID kit in it..
