I replaced the standard Halogen low beam bulbs in my 2006 Passat with a HiD H7 upgrade kit. The kit is CAN ready and the lights work perfectly, with no CAN related headlight failure warnings.
Except...
When I turn to high beam, instead of the low beams staying on, like they did with Halogen bulbs, the low beam flickers crazily for about 5 seconds, then go out. The low beams don't go out synchronised; one will fail and then a second or so later, the other one. Failures are accompanied by headlight failure messages on the MFD.
When I return to low beam, I have no lights. This is good for a heart starter, let me tell you. I have to switch the headlight switch to Off, then back to Auto or On for the low beams to return.
Any ideas?
