hid problem with code elimnators

So i ordered a set of hids for my fogs and for my driving lights. I didnt know about the code elimiators so i was surprised when i saw the flickering. I got a set of the code elimiators for both fogs and driving lights. All lights light up perfectly fine with no issues.

So i was leaving my parents house and i got a light bulb out signal. I got out of the car and walked around it to look at them. All my lights are working perfectly fine. there is not one bulb out. blinkers or anything.

Have any one else ran into this issue?

The code eliminators allow te lights to operate fine. But you will still get the bulb out code. You need Ncs expert to get rid of bulb out codes.
Hope this helps. I have the same issue. No longer bugs me.

I just had HID's done on my 07 MCS. This happened to me the day after getting them done .. I turned the vehicle off, turned it back on, the code was gone. It's possible that the capacitor went bad too. Try to get an actual code readout of the issue. I haven't had any issues with mine at all since the day after they were installed, it was literally just that one time and luckily it went away on its own.
