heya there,

well there was already a thread started on this to which i had just replied...however i just want a quick responce so i thought starting a new thread might be ofhelp as well ... so im going to cut and past my msg from the previous thread! :liebe011:

i just installed a set of aftermarket HID xenon low beams and have the warning light and msg activated everytime the lights are switched on..

the electrician installed resistors and later on a relay on both sides (after removing the resistors), between the ballasts and the bulb (or between the ballast and the original power supply im not sure)...anyway the problem is still there ie. the warning lights and msg still appear when the lights are switched on...

i looked into these threads:

however would these same modifications (ie drilling a hole on the shunt resistor module on the CEM or making a homemade resistor) also work on the XC90?)...
would i need to remove the relays already fixed by my electrician in order for this to work?

any help is much appreciated and thanks in advance...

Contact SharpHID, they have special harnesses for most Volvos to rid yourself of a bulb out message. Uncertain if they will work with your specific HID kit or if you need one they sell.

thanks there but I'm actually in Malaysia and its not viable for me to contact SharpHID (even if i did its going to be too costly)

i would prefer some help on some DIY techniques as stated in my previous posting...thanks

i just thought ill update this...
the trick of drilling the hole as suggested from xenonvalot.com above works...and it works even with a relay fixed (the relay was fixed earlier to get rid of the msg but it didint work but i didint bother removing it)... use a 1/16th drill bit only...
