Xenon Retrofit - Low Beam Failure (V50T5 - 2005) V50 2005

The computers are ok, it is the lack of documentation that is the real pain. I tried calling a local dealer and basically got the brush off. Way to support your customers!!

I've done some more digging and apparently there is a "shunt" (a small resistor basically) that samples the current to see if there is a bulb failure. I want to find this shunt to see about by-passing it. Under the glove box there is a tray (very hard to get at by the way) with fuses and relays but I cannot get it out without lots of work. There is nothing that I can see on the drivers side. I hope I don't have to rip apart the dash to get to the darn thing.

Any ideas?
Thanks
