HID Upgrade...Voltage Drop...Need Help

AAudiA6 · 11-29-2006, 04:28 PM

So I installed my new HID kit, and the kit uses 35w and the OEM bulb uses 55w, so I have about 20w drop which indicates a BULB OUT light in my dash. I'm wondering if anyone knows what kind of resistor I could put in between to get that difference to make the computer think that there's an actuall 55w draw?

I found this link, similar question do you guys think this will work? See diagram

iv just installed a HID kit in mine and it has not given me a voltage drop. you will get a drop on the sidelight bulb but driving beam should be ok. which kit are you using?

Oh that's strange...So are you saying one of the side blinkers is out? But I doubt they're out, but I'll double check.

I got my HID kit from Vision Bulbs The kit connects to one of the headlight harnesses, so you leave the other one alone?
Let me know what you think.
