Testing xenons

Quick question....


Can u test xenons on a non xenon model??

if u just plug them in will the rings and xenon light not respond at all!! So in other words will they always need coding or extra bits even to get them to work whether with or without warnings/strobing?!

Cheers

It worked for me when I tested my lights when I did my xenon conversion.

The only thing that didn't work was the bi-xenon shutter as that needs coding in the FRM. Once I'd coded the FRM properly it all worked fine.
