using a relay and harness straight from the battery it finally works. strange enought i had to tap into the current from the right headlamp. tried first to tap into the left but it was all starting over again then. but when connected through the right lamp it all works. funny though.

Hi Siggenn Can you please give some more info, ie, model, year and make of kit ? At a guess you have can-bus type system, and that is what is causing the problem ! Radiotwo ps they are not ileagal, I have had after market fitted to my car for the past 3 years without any problems with law I have a '01 Sharan 1,9TDi. have tried with ballasts from my passat and still the same issue, so it's not the new kit that is malfunctioning. have even tired hooking up new harness and relay from the battery. and sometimes it works ok, no problem with wipers or locks. then suddenly it starts acting funny again.

thank you for that most helpfull answer. I do know what I am supposed to have on the car.

so I installed an aftermarked xenon kit today, and when finished with it I could not lock the car with the remote. took it for a spin and the wipers only worked at full speed. returned ome and opened the bonnet and removed the plugs to the ballasts. now the car is working perfect. locking and wiping. put on one of the ballasts and still everything works well. connected the other too; same problem again. took it off - all ok. either something wrong with the ballast or do I need to put on a resistor to clear this up?
