Hid's errors on low beams

Hey guys,

I dont know if this has been discussed, but i decided to install Hid's on my 2013 X3 that came with no xenon option, when i installed the hid's, all i got was bulb out warnings and low beams flickering constantly. So here here is what i did to fix the situation, i disabled all warm and cold checks on everything in FRM bank 3090, then i changed the low beams to Xenons and also Led, yes... if you change the low beam to xenon only, they still flicker, but also changing to led worked, so now they do not flicker, if this is any help for anybody, im glad.

nice fix, post the brand of your HIDs and make sure the wattage is safe so that your housing doesnt burn/melt

Well peeps!! the fat lady sings!!!!!!! here is what you do;

FRM bank 3060 Al set to Halogens, change it to Xenon 100%

viola!!! drove the car for 45 minutes, no flickering, no bulb out warning, all is good!!

also... you can change the intensity of the high beams and parking lights as well

parking lights POS, change it to 100%, nice bright parking lights!!

3060 FL, change it to 100%, nice bright high beams, really bright!!

anyways... hope it helps out, it was a mission, but well worth it.
