Yesterday I spent the day installing my lighting kit from Motorcepts (HID Fogs & AE's, 6000k Low/Highs). I worked on the install off and on all day in the garage. After installing the Fogs and Low/Highs(which were working and looking wonderful)and late in the afternoon, I hooked up the AE's to test and make sure I had everything connected correctly. They worked and looked great Now to hide the ballasts/diffusers and ziptie up the cables. Got this done in about an hour.

Now the fun begins Of course, I turned the lights off and on all day testing w/o running the car and did get the low battery warning(not the first time for this...planned on putting a charge on overnight). After getting everything connected and place where they need to be, I turn the lights on and the AWD and DSC Malfunction Error starts flashing...Damn what they hell did I do now. I turned everyting off and started the car to move out of the garage hoping to reset everything. Dangit...no change still getting the error. Now I get to take it to the dealer and get to be scolded for working on my car and it's gonna cost a ton to fix

So I decide to do a search on the forum and low and behold someone posted it's because of a low battery and all that's needed is to reset the computer by turning the steering wheel fully to the right then left. No way it could be that easy. Well, I got in the car and tried this reset method and holly cow it worked. So, I went for short drive and charged overnight and drove to work this morning w/everything working just fine

This forum is great and I appreciate everyone posting such useful info!!!!!

BTW...The lights work and look awesome I'll post some pics soon.

 

most problems in my life are fixed with turning the wheel to the right then the left... or was it the other way around

seriously though .. i know how much effort goes into installs like that so glad your all set!!!!

 

All done, thank goodness
