Flash to pass

Did your car have HIDs as standard?

If yes, then you should have the flash option..I do on my car with HIDs. It's the smaller inner (halogen) lamps, the main beams, which do the flashing.

Here are a few pictures, the 2nd parking lights, 3rd low, then last the high beams, found it unusual the high beam lamp is located in the marker light housing, The PO installed the lights stated they would never need to be replaced? Also stated the headlamps ($1000) and rims ($5000) cost more than I paid for the car?

So is there a soloution to get the flash to pass feature back?

Plutoe: To use the feature just pull back, release, pull back the stalk a couple of times------if that does not work your switch is most likely bad.

That's correct...the high beam is in the marker (smaller) housing.

Gosh! I sure hope my switch hasn't gone bad. lol

Sorry plu the reason I don't really take your answers seriously. It is mostly because your usually a douche when you answer a question with overwhelming amounts of sarcasm.

But on the other-hand I think your very intelligent individual and have seen some very helpful reply's from some of your posts?

Any ways do you have an electrical schematic for my vehicle so you can be helpful?
