Replacing Halogens with OEM Xenons

(1/4) > >>

NoelRev:
Hi Guys,

Recently picked up a set of OEM xenons to replace my currently halogen lights with. Fitted the Xenons today and all the lights (apart from fogs and rear lights) are showing as defective.

What exactly do I need to do to get these OEM xenons functioning? Do I need to a new central control module, tell the central control module through vcds that the car now has Xenons etc? Help would be really appreciated.

Thanks!

Noel

Nope... How do I do that? I bought the Kufatec adapters today so hopefully have them in a few days. Am I right in saying that the standard Halogen adapters are 10 pins and the xenons need 12, so obviously the 2 extra pins are related to the voltage supply to start the igniters?

You need vcds to tell the car you have fitted xenons otherwise you will run into issues
