Now mine is a little different. Am I wrong assuming the following?

No more error afterwards
In this thread for a Low Beam fail cancel I shorted the output pin of the AD22201 chip responsible for the hot-monitoring half of the circuit. It has an internal pull up resistor, so shorting the pin to ground has no ill effects.
Also in that thread, I attempted to identify several of the other bulb monitoring circuits so folks could do what they wanted with respect to fog lights, parking lights, license plate bulbs, etc.
Over a year after I provided the guidance to a forum member to do a Low Beam fail cancel, I finally got around to performing the mod myself. (I decided to put a 'spare' HID kit in my E34.)

To update this thread, I just defeated the parking light warning and low-beam on this LKM-L US (91 M5), with some help from the Japanese DIY site.
The two chips say TC4021BP, which in the pic above are the two chips to the top and right (the ones that are folding down).
Compare to this pic below, and you'll see that chip A is on the left, chip B is on the right. I ground 14 to 8 for the parking, 1 to 8 for low beam.
My E38 and E39 both have aftermarket HID low beams installed... Does anyone know what maximum value of resistance will keep the error message from showing up and minimize wasted power dissipated in the load resistor?
Those "error eliminators" are 6 ohms, which at 12 volts is 2 amps, and will waste 24 watts each! Does it really take 2+ amps draw to set the AD2201 comparator output?

Look closely at the IC's... there is either a small "notch" on one end of the package, or a dot next to pin 1.
Pins are numbered counterclockwise like this, looking at the top of the package, not the solder side:
16 15 14 13 12 11 10 09
>
01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08
Hope that helps.

I installed HID's a while back and was looking for a way to fix only the low beam error. Though not the original pictures, this picture helped me out a ton. This is for LKM-L (61.35-8 350 377), US spec. The pin-out for each IC is indeed correct HOWEVER the labeling of chip A & B are incorrect. Chip A is low beam lights (dip beams) and Chip B is fog lights.

Hello,
Thanks for the info on the Low Beam and Fog light warning cancel mod. I wanted to share my findings on the Fog lights with High beam mod.
I'll admit, I was pretty stressed about playing around with the LKM, but I'm so happy it worked out. (so far)
I used a Butane touch soldering iron which was great. One quick touch - done with solder.
My Fogs are now driving beams as I changed my lenses to clears. Now the hot spot is centered instead of dispersed. Bi-xenon is next, but I
won't get into details here.
my jumper wires:

Fog Jumper is from Pin 24 (Ground with blue mark) to a pin on the Fog relay. see pics below...
Found the Ground via Bentley Manual and this forum.

the diagram from the original poster with my updates. I found the high beam trigger pin on the fog light relay by accident when using a test light on each pin.
I confirmed my LKM part# LKM USA-L 61.35-8 350 377

thanks and enjoy!
