Just finished my installation of regular HID kit.
Here some advise:
1. Normal voltage the feeds the angel eyes H8 is only 3-4V on low beam and 7-8V on DRL mode which is not enough to trigger the relay for HID system
(pls use a multimeter to measure of confirmation)
2. If you want to upgrade from factory Halogen, please buy Alpine kit
3. If you upgrade from any LED angel eyes kit, please follow me

4. By using the capacitors provided by your LED kit (Black tubular pieces in picture) which will increase the voltage up to 12-14V , enough to trigger a 12V relay
5. Follow the above installation video for the rest of installation
6. Use only one side of capacitor for the relay, the other side keep it connected without LED, no error shows

Regular HID kit from ebay $30-40, 12V Bosch relay $3-4, less than 2 hours installation time
