Common Canbus Wiring Problems When Fitting A Xenon HID Conversion Kit
We get a lot of customers who have purchased HID conversion kits from other companies or even from ebaY. Not knowing which type of kit they really need, other than the bulb size and colour temperature preference. You can find kits as cheap as £25-£50 without much struggle and an average of £60-£70 for a hid conversion kit. The problem is, if you don’t know your vehicles wiring type, you may run in to many problems along the way which can be very frustrating, especially because you’ll find that many of the sellers are simply “sellers from home” who know nothing about the technicalities behind choosing the right kit for your car and in some cases, will not even honour their warranty / refund policies.
Every day we’re having people come to us saying they’ve bought a kit off ebaY or from another company and went to install the kit (all fine) but when going to turn the lights on, they come on and then go off again. Or they come on and just flicker constantly or bring up errors etc. These problems are flagging up everywhere and are becoming more apparent. The problem is not the kit, the kit will work on an older vehicle without canbus wiring but if you’re facing these problems, then you will need a kit that can accommodate your vehicles electrical expectations. Our Dual Canbus kit does just this, the very latest technology and ours are the ONLY kits currently with Dual-Canbus technology.
The most common problems are:
- Lights turn on then automatically turn off (Ballast Shutdown)
- Lights turn on but then flicker
- Lights turn on then one headlamp with turn off
- Bulb Out / Warning Errors Appearing On Dash
- OBC errors appearing on the dashboard
If you have experienced any of the above problems then there are now canbus kits available for you on the market which 9/10 times are all plug & play. Most of the times these kits will work fine, however, there have been cases where even with canbus kits you will experience problems for example the Volvo XC90.. even with a canbus HID conversion kit fitted, the car will flag up a warning on the dashboard and sometimes the lights will cut out making it un-drivable at night.
The Dual-Canbus kit eliminates all these kinds of problems. It was designed & manufactured with cars like the Volvo XC90 in mind, so that it could accommodate for all the current cars with Canbus wiring but also fix problems that cars such as the Volvo XC90 have. In fact, it is currently the ONLY Dual-Canbus kit available on the market and yes, it’s a SINSPEED Dual-Canbus HID Conversion Kit.
