Car Forum / Audi Cars / February 2006Bulb out warning after HID installation
So after installing a custom wiring kit for my new HID lights in my '02 Audi A4 the headlight out warnings come on for both right and left. I understand this is the Audi sensing that there is less than 1amp being used on the circuit now (due to the new relay) instead of the amount of amperage used by an actual headlight so it's triggering the warning. Anyone know of a fix? >So after installing a custom wiring kit for my new HID lights in my '02 >Audi A4 the headlight out warnings come on for both right and left.

On the older C4 cars, this is fairly easily done. On your car I don't know if you can... Do a search on audiworld.com. Or get some black plastic tape :) Lee > So after installing a custom wiring kit for my new HID lights in my '02 > Audi A4 the headlight out warnings come on for both right and left.

The fix was to pull the headlight relay and bend over a pin that was labled 'K'. That pin was the output to indicate an error. I am not aware if this would apply to the A4. You may also want to check the FAQ thread at Audiworld: http://forums.audiworld.com/a4/msgs/2299748.phtml It has a whole section on lights.

I've spent about 3 days searching on google before posting here. =) I emailed those folks, but I'm really looking for someone who might know how to disable the sensor in an 02 audi, or build something to kill the warning. I built the Relay myself, so I'm fairly adept at plugging stuff in and such ;) |
