Auto-LVLing works fine.

The Seller is already shipping me the new ballast.

He told me the causes might be wrong polarity or water got in.

Lets see what happens this time. My left one is working fine though.

But Im driving now with fog lights at night

I replaced the ballast and everything works fine. It seems the first one I got was a bit bad.

I got a video on some old camera of the lights working.

Here are the Instructions that they give you though:

It came down to you needing the adaptar thats what every thread here talks about in the upgrade. The 3 pin to 4 pin if im correct or is it the 2 pin to 3 pin, either way. THey told me they didnt have this so they had to bypass it and rewire manually. I linked the whole install guide there should be enough directions on how to install it.

I wouldnt attempt this on my own unless you know what your doing.
