The plot thickens...

Well I just took a drive to Dunkin Donuts... It's not quite dark, but the roads are all covered by trees so it's dark on the roads. I had my lights turned on. The xenons worked beautifully! No flickering whatsoever. The problem now is that I no longer have high beams! If I pull back on the stalk as if to flash my lights at someone, they work, but they don't work in the normal high-beam position. WTF? They obviously did SOMETHING when I took it to Concord Motorsport. I now don't have daytime running lights or auto door locks.

remember how you were giving me shi*t about continuing to talk about my headlights getting stolen? your headlight saga is far worse.... I think you should just take them out, return them, and get some other mod.

Sorry about that...

Anyway, I don't know what to do... Cause I'm sure theres a way to get them to work... But maybe I should quit while I'm still (slightly) ahead... uuuuuuuuuuuughhh

Headlight issue leaves me clueless. But, the DRL and auto-locking issue sounds like your "personalized" settings have been reset to factory default. Maybe by an extended battery disconnect?

I just drove it again and the lows are still working, but the high beams wont. Is there any way that they could have accidentally shut off my high beams when they fiddled with the ECU? That seems to be what happened....
