Turning Off Headlight Sensor for HID's

[totalB5]

Hey everyone,

I installed an aftermarket HID kit with a separate set of relay kit coming right from the battery.

The problem is, now the car thinks that one of the bulbs burned out since power isn't going through the car.

So is there a something I can do to turn off that annoying beep everytime I come in the car to remind me that "my bulb burned out"?

Would the only way be getting a whole new set of HID's with the built in relay?

Anyway, does anyone have a clear picture of 6000K? I'm starting to think 6000K would be better than 5000K.

Thanks everyone.

i think you may need to put a resistor in for that circuit, but im not sure the ohm-age. if you have one of the old bulbs and a dmm or voltmeter that reads ohms, match a resistor at radio shack to the approximate resistance of the bulb.

nooo, the resistor would just burn up over time.

rewire everything and eliminate the harness. power the ballasts right from the cars wiring and put 15 amp fuses in for each low beam if they're not already there.

Thanks for the suggestion guys. I did try putting a resistor around 2.5 ohm since normal H7 is around 2.60 ohm. However, the dash light still wouldn't turn off.

jared71482 - So you're saying I should eliminate the relay I installed and use what I had before? What kind of fuses would I need for this? Is there a special kit made or would I have to custom make/wire these?

Thanks again guys!

Just connect the ballasts to where the halogen bulbs would connect. Replace the 2 10 amp fuses in the cars fuse panel with 15 amp fuses. This is how the cars with OE xenon lights are setup.

No need for any extra harness or anything.

I checked for the 15 amp fuses in placed of the low beams and they seemed to be in place.

I actually ran the setup without the relay before, they ran fine but at times one of the bulbs would not turn on until several tries. I believe this happens due to the wattage problem from OEM to the 35 watts HID kit.

Would the only answer be getting the 55W kit and run that instead of the 35W or is there a way around this that you guys suggest?

Once again, thanks guys! You're all awesome.
