Yes, only they have to connect the diagnostic machine an enable it. But it has some inconveniences:
- LDR are HI-beams operating at % of total power. It's only valid with halogen lamps but not with HID lamp
- When turn lights blink, DLR off. Useful to people can see your turn lights. It's forbidden in Europe. Caution.
- Dealer can't disconnect LDR to back stage. There isn't testing time. :-C
If you want Hi-Beam and Low-Beam with a HID kit you must have present:
- HID needs many seconds to have a enought powerful. If you want to flash with your HI-beam, the other car doesn't see anything.
- At Nitro, HID kit has only one xenon bulb that works with HI & Low, and a mechanism is moved when you change from HI to LOW and LOW to HIGH, that cover a part of lamp in LOW-beam mode.
The perfect solution to have LDR with HID Kit is easy, ever LOW-beam working. If you need to flash the bulb is working and hot, so it will be visible. Along the day hours you use only LOW-beam, when night arrives, you turn on your lights and LOW beam continues working, but you connect your back lights, situation lights (called parking lights in some countries), you dimmer the radio,....
Halogen lamps have some hours of live. HID lamps have no limit of hours, they have a limit of tun on, a very very high limit.
When I have the new car I'll make a "howto" with photos and diagrams, but it's very easy.
