Default Question about Idiot light..

Have an Audi A4 2003 bought not too long ago.. the person who owned it before me but in after market HID Lights.. not the autolevel warning light is on.. I assume they yanked it from the car when they installed the HID.. is there anyway to kill that alarm (besides the obvious of hooking up the autolevel.. )

I don't think so.. since the transformer for the hid is just tucked behind the lights..lol

I didn't install so I'm not sure what was there originally..

Either the sensor is bad or they turned them on when they weren't in place.

Here's the solution:

So how can I reset it so my console doesn't constantly show me this warning? I guess that would be the real question here..

I came stock with HIDs but as far as I know they all were autolevel. I know the steer-n-see headlights on the newer ones are optional, but I think the autolevel was designed to be a safety thing.

I could be (and often am) wrong though, and as I said I came stock with HID, so I couldn't tell you for sure.

Weather or not it came with auto level is irrelevant 8) I have an alert on my console about it not working, it was removed/disabled by someone who put HIDs in.. I just want to know if there is a way to disable the alarm/alert 8) I hate driving around with it constantly showing my auto level is not working.. lol

And it is totally fine if you don't know... and if I could put the stock ones back I would.. but I bought it used and the guy I bought it from also bought it used and said it was like that when he got it..

I really do appreciate your help on this..

hey now u dont gotta get all pissy. First of all if u car didnt come with HID lights stock then u dont have autolevel. Only stock hid lights came with autolevel and the autolevel is to adjust the headlight to the road so that you wont blind oncoming drivers. So maybe u need to make sure u know what ur talking about first before u start to say whats needed and not. We need to know facts first before we can try to help u out.

Was not ment to be "Pissy" just seemed like the coversation was centering around weather it came with it or not and I was trying to steer it back to the issue..8) Sorry if it came off that way..
