Merry Christmas, everyone!

As a follow-up of to thread I recently posted on this forum regarding an HID upgrade for my 2010 Insignia, I've decided to write a how-to thread to record my progress, receive advice / critical remarks and to also help some other who may want to follow in my steps.

I bought a pair of aftermarket headlamps from a local auto parts shop. They are apparently produc

So, I purchased some HIDs from HID direct and have installed them but am now getting constant errors or check dipped headlight lamp.

I purchased the kit recommended and on and was just wondering if anyone could offer some advise on order to resolve these errors. Don't mind purchasing a decoder but have no idea which.

Thank you.

Greetings everyone,

I recently (3 days ago) changed over to HID - Xenon. 
I had no errors for a day or so. After a day I get warnings about my lights all the time but the lights do work. I run a system diagnostics check but no error comes up.

Any ideas?

The headlamps take H7 bulbs and has the connector that fits into the back of the bulb as normal, anybody able to give advice?


thanks

I have been doing some hunting around for a HID kit for my Astra GTC. Seems like most the information is around on the forum in various threads over the years but nothing that makes it 100% clear (at least to me).

2. You should get the 35w HID kit otherwise there may be MOT issues?
3. The bulbs you need are HIR2 (9012) and NOT H7's.
4. Inst

This GTC has the worst projector headlights I have ever come across, may as well use candles! they are a total joke, cannot see a thing, anyone suggest a good quality hir2 55w xenon HID headlight bulbs, I dont want LEDs as they are a fath to fit and throw up errors.
