Turbostang,

Did you get 35W or 55W for the fog lights? and are you getting any "error" codes?

 

I have the 35w hid kit and the error code eliminators from ddmtuning.com.
Is not recommended to run 55w for the fog lights.
The heat might melt the housing.

 

Thanks! I'm going to order mine today.

 

The link below will help you access the foglights.

That was going to be my next question. Thank you for the help!
The new fog lights should be in next week.

 

Is a lot easier to swap the bulbs for the non turbo model.
Turbo model have intercooler behind the foglight. Tight fit if you have big hand, removing the wheel will be a lot easier.

 

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I ordered the same exact kit as you and had the same exact problem. I too had the "error" eliminator but still get the "headlight dipped" problem. It happens when I have the headlight mode on AUTO, and it is starting to get dark (early evening). If it is fully dark and on auto mode, it turns on without a problem.

It is a really annoying problem. I have asked a buddy of mine who is really good with the HIDs and he suggested to get a CANBUS HID ballast with AC Current NOT DC. He then gave me a lengthly explanation why it needs to specifically be AC and not DC. With this ballast he said, it has built in error eliminator.

I have not tried it yet. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks

 

How hard was it to swap out the stock hid low beams? I have several extra sets from my 911 so will likely try to reuse them. I'm assuming the headlights pop out just like they did on the 911 and everything else is about the same? Hopefully my 911 kit for the fogs will also work on the CS

 

The actual installation was really simple. Just remove entire headlight housing using the tool supplied in trunk. Then just a standard HID swap, which is a piece of cake.

If possible, I would try using CANBUS AC ballast to see if they are error free. The ddmtuning ones I got were slim ballast, DC, non-canbus and are not 100% perfect.

 

I wouldnt need anything else other than the d1s bulbs if my cayenne already had hids from factory correct? Just wanting to changing the color a bit.

 

has anyone figured out a way to turn the fog lights on AND still have the headlights in "active" mode, so they turn left / right when going around corners? It only works when the switch is in 'auto', but then you can't turn the fog lights on. weird logic.

 

installed the low beams a few days ago and have gotten fault codes twice already. noticed that one of my low beams wasn't working anymore so figured i had one bad bulb but this morning turned the car on and both worked again... don't want to send them back just to get them returned because they couldn't reproduce the problem. any one have similar issues with the low beams?

 

My 5000k DS1 bulbs I ordered from DDM tuning work perfectly.
No error code yet.

Might be a bad ballast. Trying swapping the bulb to the other side. If it happen again def a bulb / ballast problem.

 

Bad factory ballast? I doubt that but well see if it goes out again.

 

Here are my 0.02. Got my HID foglight kit from XenonSupply.com. According to the website they have CANBus AC ballast which should be more stable, last longer without throwing error messages.
I have 4300K to match the factory HID headlight. When it first turn on, it will have blueish tint. After about 15 seconds, it turns more white/yellowish. Due to non-projector housing, at some angle it will look more white-ish. So far no error message, the unit is solid build. The cost of this unit is higher than the ebay units, but stuff like this connects to the whole electrical part of the car, I will not save my lunch money over this.
