Hey guys I need some advice. After I install my HID fog light, I started to get error messages like, malfunction steering wheel and cruise control. My fog light would twitch when I start up my car, but if you turn one click then turn my fog light on and then start the car, everything works normal. Should I take out my HID fog light out or just leave it on before I bring my car to dealership to check on the malfunction lights. any advice would be great thank you.

That?s sometimes call a CanBus error. Using Cheap Chinese kits will give off some kind of electro magnetic interference that messes with the computer. What you need is a Canbus HID kit. www.gotHIDxenon.com has a Canbus kit that fixes that. All you need to replace is the ballast

Please PM Brabus for a quote on his HID fogs. I have them installed on mine and they work perfectly with no errors. He provides a very quality product that many members here have installed. No errors no flickering whatsoever.

No. It requires you to take out your current HID fogs and put in a better one.
