Ballast Headlight Issue
Hi,
I had to buy a new ballast as the previous one broke due to water damage. I've installed it and the headlight works but the full beam and all the other "intelligent" features do not. I'm not sure if it's a problem with the new ballast or if they need coding before working correctly. I also have the warning "intelligent light system inoperative".
Can anyone tell me if a new ballast would need coding (not calibrating) and if this is the reason for the "intelligent light system inoperative" warning?

Needs coding 'initial startup' using Xentry (MB diagnostics).
