Thank you Harlie

in this case , the only solution i am thinking of is to use an automatic way to feed the xenon head light with the needed voltage or power , and disconnected it when the bulbs is ON.

i am not sure if my idea is accurate and correct , so correct me if i am wrong.

the new power source or cable should be controlled by a device (if its available).

this device will monitor the Head light power cable.

when you turn on your head light , the mentioned device will recognize that and connect temporary the other power source/cable for 3 or 5 seconds and then close it.

if what i am saying is achievable then the 55W Xenon kit will get the enough/the required power to start.

after that the head light will be feeded with the bower by the LCM without any interference by the mentioned device.

i have no dialectical knowledge and so i do not know if there is a device could do that.

So what do you think?

What you describe sounds more complicated than it needs to be. Suppose you could fit a standard relay supplied source in parallel…

Either use a 35w kit that promises no CAN errors, or if like me you are too suborn and really want 55w+ fit a relay and turn the bulb checking off. The factory wiring remains unchanged; the relay goes into the HID kit wiring. Refer to post 27&28.

Ok lads I bought a set of 35watt hid xenon kit (EDX v1 HID H7 Xenon Kit for VW GOLF )for the range rover as mention by harlie , what I need to know now is how did you put the globe and wiring into the light cover without having to drill for the wires to pass thru, or did you drill a hole for the cables ? any feedback would be appreciated.

Cheers Deco.

I just drilled holes in the back covers when I did mine. The gromet supplied fills the hole up fine.

Thanks Bacicat that all I was looking for was confirmation that is the way to go thanks mate.

I've just ordered sets of 35w (low beam) and 55w ( high beam) from China.
$55 and $90 respectively, including postage.
Both claim "canbus- no error message".
Will advise when they arrive and are fitted.

Update on the cheapie Chinese HID lights.
No problems with error codes.
Bright enough but I'll soon look at 55w for low beam also. I'll put the 35w set in the fog lights!
Because of the "no canbus error" bizzo, the lights take a few seconds to reach full brightness when first turned on ( and if low beam on for a while, then high beam not instant).
I don't find this a problem, so I think a good change made.

Merry Christmas all!
