Exclamation please help w/ hid kit problem
hi guys,

i just fitted an aftermarket HID kit (main beams) on my x and Im having problems with it starting up. Sometimes it starts, and most of the time its not going. When it wasn’t going I then disconnect the kit and connect it straight to battery and it works. Also it just didn’t do it to one lamp , the fault seems to swap around randomly. both lamps tries to start and then one drops off, when this happens lamp error occurs.

What seems to be causing this? The power supply for the headlights is still ok and no blown fuses at all.

please help

eddii
