HID fogs still flicker after coding?

ZJP · 07-28-2012, 05:30 PM

I had my car coded by a forum member a few days ago and the fogs were working fine at first but now all of a sudden they are flickering/strobing again. There is no bulb error message on my dash however.

The kit installed is a 35w DDM slim kit. I've already read several other threads relating to this problem but still haven't found a definitive solution. Do I need the error cancellors sold by HPB or are they a waste?

Thanks.

Why not put a searchlight on the roof then you will have clear road ahead.These cars were not meant for HID FOGS.

You need a different canbus ballast

The eliminators would prob help but I would also check on what was coded. I had a similar prob with mine when I tried to code them to come on with key fob but they didn't have a steady enough power supply to stay ignited.

Hope this helps ( can't be anything worse than the second post )
