hid kit with canbus ballast

[east1la]

Has anyone bought this hid kit for a 2007 and up explorer?

The H13 Bi-Xenon HID Kit with option "Add Canbus Ballasts (error correcting) for BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Volkswagen, Dodge and Jeep 2008+ or other cars with Burned Out Bulb Indicators".

I plan to get hid kit for my 2007 explorer, but I don't to see the headlight blown warning light.
any good advise what good hid kit for my vehicle would be appreciated.

Those canbus warning error correcting modules don't work. It just filters the flicker for the DRL (Daytime Running Lights), but does not correct the Error Check light Code. I had to add loading resistors 3-6 ohms 50W resistors across the factory load and that kept the "Check Bulb" errors from coming up!

That procedure is for the older 95-96 models. The 2007+ models are totally different, I don't think this will work the same!

On newer vehicles the bulb out indicator is done through the system messaging. This is no BULB CHECK light itself, it just comes up on the messaging system. More than likey they all have this, you can check yourself just by removing the headlight assembly with those 3x 10mm bolts, and disconnecting your headlight bulbs, and start the vehicle (make sure your doors are closed!) and it should pop up with that message. You can always get it to go off by pressing the reset button but its a PITA to do it everytime you start it up! So I just added loading resistors to simulate the load of the bulbs to trick the system into thinking the bulbs are good! For now until there is a new way soon without the load resistors!!!

im going to try this today. (you can check yourself just by removing the headlight assembly with those 3x 10mm bolts, and disconnecting your headlight bulbs, and start the vehicle (make sure your doors are closed!) and it should pop up with that message). do you have any pictures and/or instructions on how to install resistors. where did you get your resistors?? I have hids kit on my other older chevy trucks. they don't have the "headllight out light".
