HID Error - Kris - 16:th-Jan-2016
Anyone know if theres a reason why my car just said check left and right dipped beam lights?? Ive had his installed for a week now and they've been great with no errors. Just took the car out and when auto lights came on i had the errors. Thought it was weird. But I've tried and tried again to get the error back up now and cant since I've stopped and re-started the car.

yes you have to let the ballasts charge a bit for about 40 seconds or so
before you turn the headlights on or there will be no charge in the ballasts
and you will get errors
so turn ignition on start the car for 1 min then turn the headlights on
and problem solved no more errors.

My car had been running for a lot longer than a minute mate it was when I went through a tunnel and the auto lights came on.

did the headlights actually work at the time or were they off

They were on mate like normal. Just had the error to check both dipped beams which was the first time they came on too.
