Fog light HIDs keep shutting off

BigPDub · 10-04-2009, 06:16 AM

I put some 10K HIDs, supposedly error free kit, into my fog lights. I put in capacitors, but it keeps shutting off. Sometimes it works, stays on for about 10 minutes or so and then turns off and wont turn back on. I can live with the error code, but rather not use regular bulbs if I can run HIDs. Is there a fix to this? Perhaps using the EAS halogen to HID anti-flicker resistor thing?

i think you'd better change to another set of HID Fog with proven record...eg. PIAA.

I had Mtec HID on my ride for 1.5 yrs b4 it threw error. The left fog shut less than 1 min after turning on.

Then i got some PIAA HID Fog with warning canceler made designated to handle the error.

whats up bro, i have a proven HID system to make your errors and worries fade away. Pm me for more information. Many members of this forum have been having the same problem and were also sceptical .. however once they tried on my kit they became believers
