This is John posting under Alihan's name.

Of course. Give me a call a couple days ahead though!


I got everything installed. Ripped apart the wires. Not I have adaptive headlights malfunction and angel eyes turn on for 5 seconds. I think I need a new adaptive headlight module. I will use advan's headlights tomorrow to check adaptive headlights work when I install it. As for the angel eyes, I'll run relay cables to see if they work. All I can say is I love how to headlights work. I just wished it was more plug and play and not crazy wirings and everything. Hope to have everything figured out by tomorrow.

Why not leave him at home? we do that with our dog. unless u guys dont get back until like 8pm or something?
Cavalier King Charles Spaniels crave human company. They were bred for the specific purpose of being a human companion. Leaving them home alone is not good for their mental health. At doggy daycare, for the same price as a 2 times per day walker, Brady gets to enjoy the company of a group of handlers who love him and dote on him and a bunch of dogs that he knows.

You should be able to use relay for the AE and power it using the battery terminal under the hood at least that's how I I'm doin' it ... as far as Adaptive it's a real PITA ... I guess it's a good thing my headlight is non-AHL version ... AFAIK the adaptive control module is coded (but I could be wrong) so be careful swappin' around 'cuz come next programmin' session it'll not find the matching module and it'll barf ...

GL John!
