i am having trouble with my HID turning my CEL on. i can clear code and drive around for a week with out turning the lights on and the CEL off, as soon as i turn the lights on i get a CEL that pops up and says that i have a low O2 sensor reading. is there even an O2 sensor on these? |

Search this forum and the General forum for some of the old chats on the issue of these lights triggering a CEL. I haven't paid much attention but I seem to recall there is some sort of work around |

I haven't paid much attention but I seem to recall there is some sort of work around except hes the one that started that last discussion also...lol viewtopic.php?f=5&t=54456 I gave up and removed the HIDs and just threw in 6000k halogens from ebay. They look fine and I've actually had a few people ask me what HID's i was running. The voltage spike that the ballasts require to ignite the bulb is what shocks the electrical system and pops the CEL. I bought a 12v audio capacitor which i was going to run in between the battery and my power relay for the HId's. This would theoretically absorb the spike. But i never installed it. |

i love the lights, only thing that sucks now is that in new york any vehicle under 8500lbs has to be plugged in even the little jeep diesel now. i got mine inspected 4 days before the law came into affect here so i have til july of next year, looks like i am going to have to throw the halogens back in when the time comes just so i can get it inspected. i was hoping someone would have figured out a fix yet. |

Why not just stay legal and keep the halogen bulbs in.It's illegal to run HID bulbs in a halogen housing,no way to properly aim them and only blinds oncoming traffic no matter what you think. |
