Hi to all!
When I turn on my fog lamps, it will normally turn on and after a while the right bulb will flicker and I will get an error message for defective fog lamps. Is it the ballast or the bulb? I had this for 2 years now but I only use it once in a while. Thanks!

+1 on bad connectivity. Pull out your ballast and inspect whether or not both ends are nice and snug. Mine looked like they were good to go, but I kept getting the error message and flicker so once I unplugged both ends of the plug I took a small flat head and made the female end a little more snug so it wouldn't lose connection while driving. Since then I haven't had any flickering or errors
