[QUOTE="jarance, post: 597566, member: 21"] The cause of the error is because of the new inverter (or ballast as some of you call it) that was installed. it is NOT CAN-BUS friendly. To resolve the issue, you need to do one of the followings:- 1. Put back the small pilot lamp located in the high beam side 2. Use a diagnostic too to disable the error and monitoring of the pilot lamp. 3. Add a resistor of about 470 ohms / 5 watt in place of the pilot lamp socket. I will go for solution 2 as it the easiest but you need a diagnostic tool to do it. buy me a drink and I will do it for you this coming Friday at the Official TT. [/QUOTE]
