many people have problem with error.
I was one of the victum too.
your choice to get rid of the error is either:
buy footwell modeule,
or play around with capacitors if you are an electronics expert
or buy parachute kit or similiar error correction modules

its a painful process but can be done.
if your OEM ballast burn out, it cost you $200 to replace.
I had mine replaced last month.

just think about some of these BS you have to go through, does it worth your time?
I believe Andy makes a harness that makes it error free for halogen equipped vehicles.

But no error codes and no flickering or shutting off, just the problems that I mentioned.
can you get some pics of this?


I dont know how the sunroof or interior lights can be related to an hid kit?


thanks

thanks for sharing it man!!
Most factory xenon are adaptive.
keep in mind that we are trying to retrofit non adaptive xenon.
forget adaptive xenon for crying out loud.
