After market HID's, error, FIX?? Possible solution!?
Hi all,
I have been dealing with the "Failure low beam" message for a while now, and I can't take it anymore. I have read the 2 options everyone was trying above, but I was wondering if anyone has heard, or even tried these out on their Volvo?.... They are called "HID Problem Eliminator Plugs" I found them over at this site...
http://www.carhidkits.com/xenon-hid-...plugs-201.html
They claim that these plugs will get rid of all flickering HID effects,and get rid of all dashboard error messages and error indicator lights, due to after market HID's. It seems like it is legit! If anyone has any information, I would greatly appreciate the help.
Thanks.

throw away the existing HID's and get a set of 55W HID's.
I had similar problems with my 35W kit and it too drove me insane.
55W is obviously the same as the "normal" headlights so all of these problems go away.
can buy em on ebay for a whopping $95 AUD so call it about $80 USD including shipping from china/hong Kong.
Ballasts are now 4th gen (much smaller) have better hot re-strike, more reliable etc etc etc.
Drilling the hole in the shunt is the alternative but its permanent and if you get it wrong.......they wont work at all and you'll need a new one to try again!

I just installed a set of DDM 55W HID's in my '05 S60 and there no bulb failure message appeared without the message cancellers. I bought mine from SharpHID.com. They were a little slow in getting the product out the door, but I can't complain about the actual product. One thing to note is that, even though Volvo's are not supposed to have reversed polarity according to the SharpHID website, my car did, so you may have to play with the connections to get everything to work properly.
I have to say that these lights are ridiculously bright. I haven't been flashed the high beams yet by on-coming traffic, but I am actually concerned about being ticketed because they are so much bright.

Ok, I went out and bought the 55W kit. As soon as I got home, I uninstalled the 35W kit and then installed the 55W kit. As soon as I was finished I went to test it out and bam, the same "buld dip failure" error appeared on the message screen, and the orange triangle in the middle of the dash was once again glowing. The 55W kit did not solve my problem. How do you have yours hooked up? I also have a relay harness hooked up, do you? I even tried with both 35W and 55W kit, those "HID error cancellers" and that did nothing for either kit. I was about to undo the relay harness, but I wanted some other opinions on what else it could be, or that I'm doing wrong. Do i have to go to the dealership with the 55W hid's installed and have them make the cars computer recognize them? I'm lost...Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I have a 2001 Volvo S60. When you say "Volvo's are not supposed to have reversed polarity according to the SharpHID website" What exactly does that mean? Is that something I should look in to before making a purchase of the 55W kit? Right now I have a kit that I got off Ebay, which work great! One downfall, it is the 35W kit, and is throwing all the dash errors. Bulb dip failure, the orange triangle in the middle of the dash is also lit up. I greatly appreciate any helpful feedback you provide!!! I also bought those "HID error cancelers" off ebay. Guess what... Yeah it didn't do a thing, this is getting really old really fast...
Thanks again,

it doesnt matter whether you choose 55w hids or 35w hids. it depends on which hid kit do you choose and which brand, whether you install correctly...sometimes guys will reverse hi and low beam that can make your two bulbs fail even you install the HID error cancelers ....
