Getting rid of low beam failure

[ss109]

Now that I have my HID's installed, I noticed I get a low beam failure on my computer. Some type of work around would be appreciated!

There's a good write-up on the web somewhere, but basically what it amounts to is removing the OBC from the circuit. On a friend's M3, we cut the wires leading from the headlight fuses to the OBC and connected them directly to the 9006 low-beam connector that plugs into the HID ballast. It's actually pretty simple, but there isn't much room to work under the fuse box when splicing the low-beam wires.

Try looking on some of the HID resellers' websites, like Xenon Depot

I just put in a 30A fuse for the low beams and that took care of it!

are you using your low beam power for triggering the HID relays or for power for your ballasts?

I am using the low beam relays for just triggering the ballasts

I'm pretty sure I tried 30a fuses but I'll try it again.

RichP has the write up on his site. he's the fist person I know to do that....I've always ignored it but it'd be nice to fix one day.
