So you have an Audi!
Ok, here are some things we keep hearing about over and over again (thankfully not about our stuff).
Q. I installed a HID kit on my Audi and my wiper motor does not work – HELP
Q. After installation, the on board computer on my Audi has gone crazy, my dash board is lit up like a christmas tree!
Q. After installation, my ABS warning light on my Audi stays alight.
Q. After installation, my auto lights function on my Audi do not work.
A. – In a nut shell, a pretty cheap kit, that is not earthed and is not even a stage 1 canbus kit (where you may be required to use an OBC cancelling unit).
Audi vehicles are notoriously bad, when it comes to after market HID kits, if there is one car that will go wrong, its an AUDI.
It is widely reported when you install a sub standard HID KIT on an Audi, that the wiper motor burns out, this is because the earth on the wiper motor is shared with the earth (negative) of the dipped beam lights. So on an Audi, when you put a cheap HID kit in that frankly isn’t up to the job, you are asking for trouble.
What some garages will advise you to do is to cut the earth wire on wiper motor (if its still working) and earth that wire either to the negative of the battery or to the body.
Another problem is the ABS and random lights appearing on the dash board of your AUDI, again, because of the voltage drop / spike it can wreak havoc on the electrics.
The auto lights function is sometimes affected with cheaper HID kits.
Our all in one HID kit is the one to use with your AUDI, no doubt, it even comes with an earthing cable for this particular car, which we advise you use, this way, any surges / spikes are dealt with without damaging the circuitry on the AUDI.
