...well i thought i had it handled
i sourced bixenon housings, OEM ballasts/euro harness, and some killer 6000k ds1s...installed..WOW!!!

put them in, and had the car VAGed to what i THOUGHT was right. we checked off xenon lighting in the VAG, and it worked. this morning it didnt...

funny thing is, is when i FIRST installed them they flickered, but on my way to have the car VAGd, they worked fine?
...i still had it "recoded" to what i thought worked and it went fine for the rest of the evening/night...

then today we are back to HID strobbing like a rave on the front of my car. not only can i not use em, but man i feel thats not good for the life of the bulb or ballast...

and...if the engine is off...I can turn on the lights 1st....then start the engine...and the lights will stay on. or witht he key only turned over. but sometimes they will start to flicker and then I will have to repeat until the stay lit...or with car off only...(sigh*)

i cant find anywhere the long RE-coding for the OEM bixenon HIDs...(the car thinks im either halogen or normal xenon? i have no idea what to do
can anyone help?
