Ok I installed HID's on my truck. Now when I turn them on the headlight indicator on my dash didn't come on anymore.
I'm guessing because they draw less power it doesn't trip the sensor.
Then I installed new fog lamps with more watts then bingo it came back on and works fine.
So I'm guessing that your lights have to draw a certain amount of power for the system to see it.
Just an FYI for yall
