dealer replaced one headlight now i have ONE pmb and ONE stock

Gooby · 10-10-2006, 05:53 PM

So heres the deal..I have H&r Sport springs and the DTM Rep Hartge lip. My car was at the dealer for a week changing the steering column because it started to click. While the car was there a fault came up and they had to replace one headlight. Meanwhile I HAD PMB, so now One headlight has PMB and the other doesn't. My ques is since the car is dropped and has the LIP how am I going to be able to get the the wheel well if everything is soo tight.

Any Suggestions?

O and they reprogrammed the car and I have DRL. I HATE DRL

Wait a second... The steering column started to click... What do you mean by that? Like... if you turn the wheel, you feel a "click" at a certain angle? Or is it an audible "click"?

You can turn your DRL's off via i-drive or through the dash computer. And contact your fawking stealership about your PMB's. They should still have the housing with bulbs or atleast make them install the bulb for you since they didn't advise you on changing your headlight.

The locking mechanism was shot. If you have to put your key in and you get like this clicking noise and a light that looks like this

But knowing the dealer they say me installing the PMB caused the fault..

So ill jus install the stock one on the other side. But I really wish they could've put two new headlights.

o yea and I tried already to turn off the DRL. It's not an option. Idk it looks real euro but next time i go in for a oil change ill get em to reprogram it.
