Interested to hear thoughts & experiences from members downunder

I am based out of london and i had a word with the official showroom here, they said they havent sold a single piece of lights here in uk and they wont be able to fix it as after fixing these, it can generate a lot of issues and messages as the wiring set is different.

however, i found out that in uk , CKS performance can do it,(http://www.cksperformance.com/index....ducts_id=21161)

In this topic people mentioned a price of around 450dollar from parts.com. If you know someone that can do the coding and just need the information on what to code send me a PM

Just wanted to update. I have the necessary parts to do a bench top programmer. I have to wire it up and test it though. Maybe this week or next if things are not to busy. I will post back when I have a working setup.

I dunno if you'll find anyone. I scoured all sort of automotive shops, dealerships, car electronics places in the Bay Area and finally resorted to disconnecting the SAM to ship to Whipple for reprogramming.

It's not that bad. You could figure out how to swap them out and remove the SAM. The hard part would be waiting for it to ship and return.
