HID Xenon function?

Brennan · 04-24-2012, 08:28 PM

Going to get a HID kit for my car, i was wondering will it work fine with the 'error cancellers' or will i have to get the 'xenon function' switched on in the ECU as well?

cheers

Make sure you change the whole light assembly and don't just put re-based H7 bulbs in the Mr Kipling reflectors...

yes lad they will be changed soon for a set of projectors. So, does the xenon function have to be activated?

If you're using OEM or CANBUS lights then yes, some of the eBay tat have in-line resistors so it "looks" like there is an incandescent bulb still in situ.
