You've misunderstood me tucpal
If I switch the ignition on to 'II' so the dash lights come on, you can switch the headlights on.. The HIDS work fine then and stay on as long as I want.
However if I start the engine, they go off after a few seconds, same if I switch them on when the engine is running.
When I switch them on, they come on for probably 5 seconds then flicker once and go off.. As if they lose power. The ballasts have no power after that and I then get dash bulb check errors. No errors when they do work though.
I'm fairly certain it's a canbus error or a voltage drop when the engine is running. Il try them in our Mini today & see if they work as that's not canbus
