  • Service DRL / Auto levelling malfunction

    Hi all,

    Purchased a 2011 Insignia Elite that was initially a cat D from the front end, the person fixing the car swapped the front end to a 2014 with the updated lights & bumper etc.

    was driving home and noticed my high beams stopped working and the led DRLs flicker like mad both sides.

    Anyone else encountered this issue and managed to resolve it?

    Thanks

    Any bulb errors on dash,,have they put AFL's in,as that is what your elite would have had before the bump

      Yeah the car has the LED drls on it but they flicker quite a bit if they're on. I wouldn't know if they've put afl's in, how would I tell? Could they not put in the control module for it but still get dipped beams & drls to work?

        Do the lights do a little dance when you turn on the ignition?

          I reckon they've fitted the standard facelift halogen lights,instead of AFL's

            If that's the case, I'd have to end up getting two new headlights which are the afls?

              That's what I was thinking.

                That will be an expensive job...

                      Private sale, had the car a matter of days. Never thought to check the high beams when inspecting the car and the drls and low beams worked.

                        You can still take action with a private sale - easy to take through Small Claims Court.

                        Perhaps a recoding to go from AFLs?

                          Would need to disable afls.
                          Are the head lights a bright white or are they a yellowish colour? If they are yellowish, then you have got standard halogens. Should have been afl as standard on the elite. The guy who did the repair must have gone for the cheaper option. I would say that he must have botched the wires to fit the halogens.
