So I tossed in some new 6000K Bulbs that I got from Elite Motorsports (thanks for the great service btw!)

I think something is goofy with my headlamp tho.

If I put it on auto, turns out my right HID bulb does not like to turn on and I get an error.
I have to open up the bulb section, and basically shake the cable to get it back on.

But If i don't use the auto function, and put it on "Off" or "on" it works just fine, no questions asked.

Any suggestions? I'm sure the dealer is going to charge me for doing my own work.

Shade,
i replace my headlight bulbs on my 3 sereies in the past, bought some knock off bulbs but the color and brightness was good!!! but i did have issues where only one light would turn on when i had it on auto!! i simply turn the knob to "manual" on and off and turn it back to auto and both bulbs would work!

Hmm, that didn't work for me. Once that 1 bulb is out, it wont turn on no matter what (that is, until i wiggle the cable)
