Headlamp warning light on?

Tricky-BMW · 01-13-2013, 09:42 AM

Hi I'm just after fitting aftermarket angel eye headlamps to my car but now the warning light is on the dash for both headlamps, any idea why? Both headlamps are working fine

Cheers

I'm guessing you wired them with your low beams? Did you install resistors between the connection? And possibly have to get it coded out. Search the forums there should be more info lurking in here.

They were just plug and play no wiring involved, can't see any where that you would put a resistor on, but yeah thats what I was thinking about if they had to be programmed as there's a light module at the drivers foot well

You need lights with cancellors or those that has the right wattage etc .....

Please tell me you got depos and not the aftermarket eBay crap. Depos still aren't the best but they work well. You need to code the errors out on certain cars. Get error cancellors

I can only find error cancellers for HID bulbs mine are still just plain bulbs
