    Light Out on Dash :(

    So, I was driving and this came on:



    I got out of the car and, tested all lights, high, HID, signal, sides etc and they all seem to be working.

    Make sure you test all lights (including signals) in the following modes
    Daytime running mode (DRL's on if you have them)
    Night running mode (headlights on)
    Night hi-beams mode (high beams on)
    Fog lights


    If everything is working good in all those modes, you likely have a bad connection or a loose bulb.

    EDIT: just noticed you have xenons so high and low beam function is identical - either it works or it doesn't.

    Yeah, everything seems to be working fine. The PO put on some of the ballasts with electrical tape : and, it has popped up once before and went away for months. Maybe some water got in there and isnt making it too happy. Ill check everything I guess once the weather dries up.

    take out the led in the dash? Don't worry - it'll sounds like a better option once you drink all of dane's beers.

    good call. (I'm currently picturing myself trying to unsolder an LED while drinking. Which is hilarious, if you understand that I can't do it sober.)
