I'd say the first step should to be Dwight's advice

He knows his stuff believe me, just too bad he's playing low profile (noob style lol)

Ok. I wil try his advice. But just to be sure: Ill try the resistor and place it between the original stock +12V connector and the Ballast. Correct? (I am not a electrical expert )

Get a HID guru to look at the car Hubert, sure you have those experts in NL. Not expansive mate.

Looks like:


But again, apparently this is what drive the CANBUS function and it already has it built-in :/

I just had a conversation with someone at Retrofitlab in the Netherlands. They told me that I would just have to try another Canbus ballast and see if that solves the problem (they have 2 types). I will test them and see if hope that there is a positive outcome

lol, back to my first advice I agree this is the way to go. In your case anyway, you'll possibly need to try a few until one set decide to love the car you are running there. Don't discourage buddy.

'Anything' I can do for you from this end, you have my mobby or email Hubert.

Drive safely with that 3.6! (must be mean as hell your car... I want it lol)

First let me say I am by no means an expert on this, just offering some suggestions. First try one light assembly out so you can try each side independently of each other, narrow it down to one side if possible. Second treat it like alternator whine in a stereo...it is after probably spurious AC being generated and getting back into the cars system....try attaching a .01 , .05 , .10 , .50 capacitor from +12V to ground and see if that might trap it and bleed it to ground before it gets back into the car. Next step would be to try making a LC circuit out of a inductor and a capacitor to also act as a choke. I Will try and do some research for better values. We have enough talent on this board we should be able to kill this problem

Too kind Dwight. Sure Hubert feels so much better already

Charles is also a pretty impressive and switched-on electrical engineer - guessing he's just too busy trying to figure out how to convert potato genetics into green beans For myself, I can do nice & shinny headlight projectors but the electronic part/knowledge is sadly far-far behind yours or of Charles. Thanks x100 guys
