There are several posts on the conversion from halogen to Xenons. Your post seems to be the easiest, but the only thing I don't understand is the part where you did the mod for the canbus canceler and the ballast wiring. Sorry if I sound a bit confused, but did you remove the ballast completely?

I have tried something else, maybe you can help me. On the plug side, I added pin 2 and bridged it with pin 4, which is the negative. I added pin 5 and bridged with pin 6 for the shutter, and I added pin 7 and bridged with pin 1 for the eyebrow LED
So, the angel eyes and eyebrows light up, and the shutter opens and closes when you switch the brights. The only thing is that the low beam is not coming on. Do I have to make another wire change, or will the low beam only work after coding?

Your help will be much appreciated. Thanx
Hey man it has been years and I have to dig up and look again. I sent a pm in response to yours.
