UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hi,

On my Polo 6R 1.6 TDI '10, i've installed HID bulbs with ballast, and fitted them into my Dectane Dayline headlights, that looks like the OEM ones (yes i know...)
Even though, i've installed the included adapters (connecting the factory headlight cable with the one from the headlight), and mounted the wire, running from the left side headlight to the negative pole to the battery, as instructed.

Everything works as long the car is idling, but as soon you turn the ignition on, and the HID turns on, and you start driving, they turn off again. The same happens when you have the START/STOP enabled. They don't stay turned on, when the engine starts again. Its like they don't get enough power from the battery. (Have tried to mount the wire on the positive pole, not any different).

So, the temporary solution, is that i've mounted this: https://www.theretrofitsource.com/media ... ness_7.jpg.
That just results in a bulb error in my display...

Does anyone know this kind of problem? I know from others, that it works perfectly on their Polo BMT GT, but mine won't... And the LEDS' are flickering, as the voltage are changing constantly - they aren't shining bright all the time.

Hope you guys can help me!

Try the following, first without Motocontrol and then with Motocontrol:

You need some friend with VCDS.
BCM
Byte18--> from 61 to 67 HEX.

CLEAR ALL DTC's, Autoscan

Other possible solution is replace 39, 59 fuses 15 amp by others 20 amp.


Also try another ballasts model.

They are possible solutions, but it may be that none of them fix the problem.

Perfect, thank you! Will try to look if any of the soloution works!
