I have Alphaobd and I'm trying to get my HID lights working. I can't seem to find the HID enable option. Just the LED option. What should I be looking for?

I’ve read a few say to enable Bi-Zenon too, is that necessary?

No. That tells the bcm that there are low beam projector headlights that have a shield controlled by a solenoid that drops when the highs are switched on.

I found it. Turns out it was already on.

So, the problem I'm having is that one of the lights occasionally won't come on (usually the passenger side) I'm getting the low beam out message.

Also have a licence plate light out message. I have led bulbs in there. Hanged the setting in alphaobd and it's still giving me a message.

I had that problem until I ditched the relay harness and replaced the igniters. The relay harness for some reason was killing the igniters. TRFS sent me 3 sets before I ripped the harness out and now I have no issues. You may have a bad igniter on that side.

I found my problem with a sometimes on sometimes off passenger side headlight was caused by the 3 wires going into the H13 style plug from the trucks harness. The wires from being moved so much over time (I constantly am taking my trucks lights in and out as I build lights) and over time the pin for the ground wire inside the plug came lose. I replaced it with a new terminal pin, locked it back inside the plug and all is good now, no more issues.
