Do I need a software download for the DRL to function?

And yes I know the highbeams are less bright in the US-spec lights but I want them anyway.

If anyone is interested I'm selling my euro lights.
From time to time I have problems with the lights aiming way too low, I don't know if it's the headlights that are causing the problem or something else. I also get an error message that I can't really translate but it's something like this. "Light failiure contact volvo dealer"

Anyone with US-spec xenons for sale??

Oh, I am so tempted to do a swap right now. If only I could be without the car for a week or so.

Sorry mate, but good luck! I'm sure someone will be willing to swap with you!

As for the software, we need one to go from US to Euro and disable the DRL's, so I would think you would need an update to go the other way 'round.

I'm interested. Would you do an even swap?

[EDIT] On second thought, I can't go w/o the car for that long.

I suspect your problem is related to a 4C sensor in regard to your headlights pointing down on occasion. That will also give the error message.

A good technician that understands 4C should be able to fix this, however it may be easier to just swap your headlights than it is to find such a person. Be advised however that if there is a 4C problem causing some of this, that changing the lights will not resolve it.

Sorry, I should have written from the beginning that my car is a D5 so I don't have 4C.
