        Hmmm... are these the same for the sealed beams to the US ellipsoid version, or are there different directions for that conversion. Thanks.

          no they are not the same. Here's the US ellipsoid version:

            no that is from US ellips to Euro ellips.

            The wiring for sealed beams to US ellips is similar to my writeup except you are just splicing in the 9005/9006 connectors and dont mess with the citlight part. You do need to do the relay mod.

            Also while you are at it do this: http://www.bmwe34.net/E34main/Upgrade/More_light.htm

                          i tried jumping pin 30 on the relays and it did nothing...

                          my car is a 1990...build date 1989...what's the difference?

                            Your lowbeams still go out when the highbeams go on?


                            The foglights dont come on with the highbeams?

                            Is that what you mean?

                              EXACTLY!

                              jumping the relays is having no effect...
