Fog Lights HID's

Hey everyone i have a question I changed out the stock bulbs on my fog lights to HID's and i keep running into the issue of the cars computer saying fog light out! is there something i might be doing wrong or does this happen to everyones? I put HID's on the headlights as well and those dont give me the error so I am not sure what could be causing this


Thank You

The resistance of the HID is probably higher and the car is monitoring the current thru the bulb.

Their is a trick to this.. try looping both positives from your OEM wires... this sould help get ride of the flikering or computer msg.

TAP a wire from both positives wires on the OEM harness and loop them together..

*NOTE it work on my ML... not sure if it will work on your vehicle..
