Today noticed. When i turn on the front view camera and has hid fogs on,the sensors getting crazy blink from green to yellow to red,and only front sensors on the screen. back are fine. when i leave only low-beam and shut off fog hids,parking sensors stop getting crazy and won't flash anymore and work the way they should. Nothing next to the car,but when fog hids are on front sensors getting crazy and lie. Any ideas? :embarrassed:
 
You can prove that by covering your fog lights and turning them on. I'm thinking it's more the ballasts. Sometimes I get radio static when the lights turn on in my truck. There has to be some kind of interference going on.
 
I covered my HID fog lights with towel :-) and still parking sensors are crazy :-(
As soon as i shut HIDs fogs off,and leave only low beam all works great.

Very weird. Fog lights not blinking and have enought voltage

Here are updates. It was raining bad yesterday and that when it happened that parking sensors got crazy with fog hids on. Right now dry,tried to turn on the parking cameras and sensors and fogs on,all works great.

Very weird? Any ideas? Is it HIDs fault or parking sensors getting wet?
 
how did you mount the HIDs? it is probably screwing with the parking sensors, or the HIDs are sucking too much power and therefore the parking sensors arent getting the right anmount and are going crazy... check your fuses

Sobi6111,

Did you correct the issue with the parking sensors? I just installed the angel lights yesterday and my parking sensors are going crazy (exactly doing the same that you explained). I installed the fog lights HIDs about 1 1/2 months ago and never had an issue. I use my parking sensors lots since I parked in a tight spot and always make sure i dont damage my paint. I also, noticed the driver side AFS is not turning as the passenger side (found it does after 16 mph. thoughts?)... Its probably me, but also noticed last night that the power of the car wasn't the same as usual (under 1000 rpm most of the time) and slowing down quickly .... :(

I will take the car back to the shop on Monday and try to remove the ballast out bumper and the suggestions above....wish me luck ! (
 
Adaptive headlights (AFS) on the driver side only moves at speeds above 16 MPH. The reason for this is to prevent blinding oncoming traffic on the opposite side of the road. The passenger side is suppose to be moving all the time no matter what the speed is as long as its in drive or neutral.

Thanks Fire0nic3FX! That's what I found online, but just wanted to confirm.
