When you turn the engine only, your truck electrical power and supply, running thru and distributed to all systems [radio, dash board, lights etc] and as well as your truck hid ballasts [at this point ballasts receive (input) all electric source before they giving power out the HID bulbs. Giving your truck sometimes to operate all full electrical power supply and your fogs hid bulbs are not an exception.

I used to experience this with my pathfinder window regulator motor (power window down right after turn on engine. As a result, window motor broke)

Dont waste money to buy more stuffs and making your truck heavier without thinking the logical of electric flow.
yeah i sometimes have to wait a bit after i start the car too to avoid an error. but if you are still getting errors sobi its another issue.

startx5:
capacitors don't really make your truck heavier.. just fyi...
