2011 + HID angels = codes?

[woner]

I finally got my used camaross hid kit working but now I'm getting a headlight failure code . Has anyone with a 2011 installed an hid kit? Idk what I could've done that would throw a code..

you probably have something blocking the adaptive headlight motor, check to see if anythings in the way.

Yeah, I read a thread about that. I removed the caps and pulled the wires out of the housing to make sure there wasn't anything in the way. The error was still there. Then I plugged my stock bulbs back in, but left all of the hid wires in the housing. The error went away..so it's not just something in the way unfortunately.

...its the wonderful world of the aftermarket plug & play. Not!

Sorry man.

Yeah . I'm still not taking these things out until I have to go to the dealer. They look great.

I got the error to go away by plugging a stock halogen bulb into the open socket on the driver's side. So I have 3 h8s..Idk if this is a good long term fix though. The extra bulb may overheat the headlight or something.

Maybe I need to plug some sort of circuit in with the right amount of resistance into the open socket?

i see your problem, the kit should have came with a resistor that plugs into the driver's side socket. here's a pic i found of the camaross kit on e90post, it's the part in between the yellow wrapped harness and ballasts.

Well that explains it..I'll contact the seller. Thanks
