Flashing HID fog light... Need help

kyheang12 · 10-26-2010, 12:29 AM

Earlier today, I went to a shop and replaced my EMO fog light for 6000k HID light. When I drove off everything was fine but after I turned on the fog light again at night. It started to flash and showed a malfunction display. Anyone know if there's something I can do to solve that problem?

Did you install the "Error Decoder" with your kit?? Are your ballasts 35 or 55 watts? I have Lows, highs and fogs and error free. Without the error decoders I would be getting malfunction alerts on my dash all day.

I'm not sure because the shop did the instillation. The guy told me that he was going to put a kit to stop the "error" display so I guess he did. The problem is that the light would keep flashing so I think it might be another problem and not the error kit.

what kind of HID's did you install. My fogs blink maybe once very briefly when I turn them on but then it is all good. I have Xentec HID's. For my high beams whenever I turned them on they flashed like crazy and then gave me an error message on the dash. I have to turn off DRL(daytime running lights) manually in the idriveand everything is normal and error free.
