Xenon fog light installation help.

tonypap · 06-21-2011, 07:11 PM

Bought a Philips xenon kit (bulbs and ballasts) to replace fogs. After installing I got errors that bulbs were out and light would flicker. I know I can hardener the resister to the battery (power supply) but was wondering ifthere is another workaround for this? I don't want to hardwire to the battery or jump point for power. Suggestions?

I have the HID kit for my fogs and haven't found a work around yet besides keeping the adaptive lighting off and only turning the fogs on manually.

Thats not the problem I'm referring to. Even manually the flicker and error messages on dash. I was told I need a relay harness with direct power from battery. I'm looking for a harness that does not need a power source, but still solves the problem.

Oh, i don't get erros when I use them manually. Only when adaptive lighting is on and I put the car in reverse and making turns while driving.

Do you have an additional harness? Or just bulb straight to ballast? If you DO have an extra harness, which one do you have?
