Just wondering guys if anyone has had an issue upgrading there fog light kit to HID. Does it trigger any fog light issue codes on the dashboard ?

If so is there a way to prevent this ?

Thanks

No issue or codes if you buy the right one.
Make sure you get the digital ballasts kits
The only one bad thing is you're killing your bank acct. LOL
Go for it.

so you DO need the error code elimenators? I thought by installing a digital balast that the computer would recognize the balast the same way it would recognize the bulb that was there?

I went with DDM on this purchase. I bought the HID 8000K for the fogs, bought matching bulbs for the head lights, code eliminator, angel eye upgrade to bright white. Such a great price I bought there DDM pedal set as well.

I ordered the HIDNY one and the ballast kit was different, the updated ones actually look better. I ordered 6k for my low beams and i have to say no errors wat so ever and real good. I will do my Fogs soon after i get the projectors for the fogs.
