Burnt out lamp indicator
I installed HID lights into my xfire, everything works perfectly.
However, with HIDs installed, the 'burnt out light' warning indicator comes on in the dashboard, whenever I turn on the lights. I absolutely have no burnt out lights or bulbs on my car --- I think that HIDs may pose a different resistance draw on the 'burnt out light' sensor/circuit and 'fools' it into coming on.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks for getting back to me...
Very interesting. I have checked all of my HID connections. If I put the factory headlight bulbs back in, No problems. Unplug, and plug in HID harness, and the 'burnt out bulb' indicator comes on. (This whole problem only exists when I have the headlight switched on, ie: at night. When lights are off, obviously no problems). I have tried 2 replacement harness/ballasts with the same results, so I know it's not the HID kits themselves. Maybe my car's circuit is just more sensitive to the resistance change... btw, I used the XenonDepot HID kit. I know of one other person who has the same problem as me with their Xfire.

Put a multi-meter across both and compare the resistances. If there is a significant difference, splice in a resistor of that value inline with the HIDs.
