Default Burnt bulb warning

I have used the search button and couldn't find anything. Is it possible to disable the lightbulb warning light through the vagcom i dont own one yet so im not sure the reason i ask is because ever since i installed my HID kit on my car i get the burnt out bulb warning when i turn my headlights on. The reason its doing this is because i hooked the kit up through a relay so only one stock bulb harness is trigering my Hids on while the other one is just unhooked and the car keeps thinking i have a burnt out bulb. Or if anyone knows the resistance required to make the computer think the bulb is not burnt out.

How about hooking up your HIDs the right way?

Well i would have hooked it up like in my other car but the kit i bought came with a relay harness and fuses so i had to wire it that way. If there is no fix then i either got to butcher the hid harness to hook it up properly or get another kit without the stupid relay harness.

You are running 2 ballasts off 1 power circuit? I'm no electronics expert, but to me that sounds like a terrible idea.

no im not because the stock headlight harness only triggers the hids to come on. Both ballasts are taking power from the battery. Every HID kit i have installed or seen is hooked up to the battery although im no expert either.
