sorry long time to reply....
....work etc!!
well,i notice when my lights come on that they instantly come on then go dim and gradually come up to initial brightness.i guess thats ok for these types of light?
still not sure where to put resistor or bulb across cables,as surely that would dim the power to the hids?
anyhow,either way,they are real bright and i can see where i am going now,so its not all lost.
the kit was indeed from eb*y but the quality is great with a lifetime warranty i cant complain.
anyone have a value for the resistor needed or do i just run a sidelight on the cables?

Recommended HID Kits
I was looking into HID kits a couple years ago, and wasn't impressed with the price/quality I saw. I wonder if things have improved (longevity, ease of installation, price) such that it makes sense. Has anyone recently installed a kit in a 91 euro m5? I'm looking for something that's available in Canada.

Cheers,
Han

its normal, all HID kits first go very bright, dim down and go back, in like 3~5 sec time...
I put the resistors inside the front bump
