Adaptive Xenons - sidelight issue

Hi

I purchased a set of Adaptive Xenons for my 57 plate GS earlier in the year as an upgrade from the halogens. Finally got round to fitting them this weekend.

Now i knew the adaptive feature wouldn't work without a wiring mod (not fussed about sorting that - seems too expensive!) and the cornering lights would only work with the Faultmate change (will possibly sort that when I find someone near).

However, while the main/dipped beam works fine, neither sidelight will come on.

I can't believe both bulbs have blown, so do the sidelights have to be enabled with Faultmate too i.e. is there some link with the cornering lights?

Or am I just being thick? (Quite possible!)

Thanks.

I would check that first ...as the sidelights should work without any tinkering AFAIK Thumbs Up 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

As DG says check bulbs first if they are ok i would think its a power issue.

fuses 2 & 4 are for s/lights but dont think that will be the problem i would check the plugs at the back of lights and make sure pins and plugs are nice and clean Thumbs Up

DG and Geoff are both spot on, Mains , Dipped and Side lights require no programming to work between standard and adaptivem which is a change i have personally done, so whatever the problem you have is, it is something else Thumbs Up

Well that's a bit embarrassing isn't it. New bulbs purchased, fitted and all is OK Embarassed

Many thanks all!
