Side lights on..the hids came on two...

Disconnect the cylindrical resistor type device thats bolted to the inner wing next to the fuse box under the screen passenger side.

Thanks for that..ill try it later...does this mean i need a new one....?

hayesey

no, the lights are supposed to do that.  You can just disconnect the dim-dip resistor and they'll not do it any more.

look at the "UK" section on dim-dip regulations in the late 80s - early 90s.
