Well I fitted my hid's at the weekend, one of the many jobs I have put off for ages, but now it has caused a very odd issue.

When I don't have my lights on, the auto box selects all gears properly, up and down.

When I have my lights on however, it doesn't want to select 1st and pulls away in 2nd ( or that's what it feels like anyway).

I can manually select 1st and 2nd with the lights on, so makes me wonder what's going on.

Its not the only issue caused either, as mentioned in another thread, my speedo needle also acts erratically when I first switch the lights on ( but this doesn't really bother me too much).

As someone mentioned in the other thread, could this all be down to the convertor on my clocks?

If so, if I was to replace with UK clocks ( which I am looking to get anyway), would this solve the odd issues?

Also with UK clocks, I'm guessing they would mean I don't need the convertor to bypass the speed limiter?

Sorry if these are stupid questions but its all got me a bit stumped at the moment.

No worries mate, i was up late and managed to have a pic on my hardrive :thumbup:

Little update.

Had a little drive this evening with the hids in still and noticed that it wasn't just 1st my car didn't want to drive in, it was every gear but 2nd.

Anyway, thought I would swap the old hid kit with the one I bought to use in my fogs, but it was doing exactly the same.

So as a last ditch effort, thought, try the old shitty candle light bulbs that were originally in there and.......

Hey presto!!! Problem solved!

Still not sure exactly why the hids were causing such an odd issue, but like someone had mentioned, it must be down to the convertor behind the clocks.

Hopefully I'll find some UK clocks asap so I can give the hids another try and see what happens.
