Thanks for the tips, but I definitely want the Philip's brand HID kit.

"I am not sure how Volvo design the bulb out detection circuit - comparing current between left/right headlight harness OR comparing total current with a preset value. I am looking for a way to disable the bulb out indication for the headlight"

If there is nothing connected to the head light wiring then there would be a bulb out light lit....no. Also, I thing Volvo uses the comparison between the two to set off the warning light.

I do have a question though.....the Philips kit gets its power from the battery, but still operates with the dash switch via a relay....am I right?
