Default electrical problem post HID installation-HELP!

I installed a 6000 K xenon depot kit today per instructions previously posted on this site. Installation seemed to go flawlessly. However, after reconnecting the battery , I attempted to recalibrate my windows with no success. None of the window lights would blink as expected. Only the drivers window works now. Furthermore, the remote keyless entry also does not work all of the time. Had to manually open the door several times. Otherwise lights work and look great. All other electrical systems seem to work fine. Any suggestions on how I go about fixing this?

Default Don't Freak out!!

Here is the help: First row down the 1)driverside window and then up and hold for 5 seconds, do the same procedue again to your 2) passanger side(then go back to the driverside and try to row down this side window), 3) Right back side(then go back to the driverside and try to row down this side window), 4) Left back side(then go back to the driverside and try to row down this side window), and finally 5) the sunroof. That should work and this was how i did!!

About the keyless entry, I have no idea why it doesn't work. Mine just works fine after re-set the windows.

I did try resetting the windows exactly as you said Dave (saw Tony's previous listing and was expecting to deal with this problem after battery reinstallation). Tony also stated that the window button lights would blink in a specific sequence prompting you to renormalize the windows in that specific order. I don't see any of these lights blinking at all. If I do have to go back to the dealer, does anyone know if the installation of this kit negates the warranty?

I put my kit in yesterday and had do to the window set. My window switch lights were blinking after putting the battery back in. You might try unhooking the battery again, give it 10 minutes, then reconnect and see if the windows switch lights blink. You need to go to the individual door to see the blinking light and reset.

Thanks for the help. Problem fixed! I didn't realize that you had to go to each door separately to normalize the windows. I thought that you did it all from the driver's door
The keyless remote seems to be working again--unclear what was wrong with it yesterday but never had any problems with it before. Hopefully just a fluke.

Default Start 1 Sorry I guess I should have said

Yeah sorry I forgot to add that you have to watch each door not just watch the driver side window panel. For any future installs make sure its done out of the sun so you can see the doors blink.

By the way this install will not void your warranty since you are not altering any electrical factory components. The voltage is the same with no damage to the electrical system. My Lexus dealership is looking into buying some of these kits to add on or resale through their place but need to check into the legal issues first.
