Title: HELP PLEASE!!! hid headlight replacement
Post by: brianp87 on 28 March 2010, 20:21:35
my headlights seem to be getting dull where do you buy replacement bulbs for the hid kind. also i put two new shocks on the back of my elite but not air ones as they are to expensive and ever since a warning about headlight adjust level comes up on the computer and they point straight down how do i fix this.
also what are these bulbs like 5000k, 6000k or 10000k

hi mate was reading your post am thinking you can fool the sensor some how which should be on the front left wishbone so that the headlights can point straight ahead

HID level sensors & shockers level sensors are completely seperate rom each other. Check you've not disturbed the sensors on the near side of the car. the one on the rear off side was for the self levelling shockers.

no they're not. As above, check you've not disturbed anything, some times the little arm can come off. If not, it's coincidental & one of your sensors has died.

You can if you want  ;) ..... but it's bugger all to do with the message .... low beam field vision wotsit
the message is due to failed level sensors or maybe the motors inside your head lights. As you only got the message after working on the car, I would ignore the motors and check the level sensors on the front & rear suspension. You ideally need a code reader on the car to determine what your car is upset about.
