| Help with xenon headlights in D4 |
|
Hi all just bought a pair of xenon with fairy light for my GS D4,the fairy lights work fine,but when switching on the main lights they will work for A few seconds then go off, if I switch off the engine the same thing happens again the fairy lights work fine.
Any ideas what the problem is?
Thanks Ash

I think the xenon part needs enabling with the usual box of trickery by someone.

There has been a lot of talk about this setting, but I know of 2 D3s that have had xenons put in without having to change anything. It is of course something worth checking though. Joined the BMWX5 45e group

Thanks Ash - If its just a case of swapping them over, and then getting activated then money well spent me thinks 
Hope someone comes up trumps for ya.
