HID Help-Resistor packs?

carman5200 · 08-26-2006, 12:15 AM

I have had tons of trouble with my Projector46 HID's and error codes, and getting the LCM reflashed, and trying to unflash because not only did it take the error light off my dash, it also disabled my high beams...sweet...so now im in a stupid process with my dealer...but anyway, back to the original problem of the error light, where can i buy this resistor pack i hear so much of to eliminate the error light? Please help....i've had enought of this B.S. with these lights....thanks!

bekkers is one option, or you can make your own with relays.

just tell them you want to flash for regular xenons that way you don't have to undo what you installed. i bet the tech flashed you for bixenons which will render the highs useless unless you have bixenons.

They did indeed flash for bixenons....aparently there is no other way to flash them....they go into the computer and unlock the HID code, and thats it...for the 2002, its bixenons....and then they tried to undo the flash they did after i discovered the problem, and was unsuccessful....now they are replacing the LCM because that is what they believe will return the programming to original status....
