Please help installed angel eye LED and HID kit for fogs

So I bought DDM's HID kit for my fog lights and the LED upgrade kit for the angel eyes.

I got my stereo shop thats an expect at wiring and when I installed the LED angel eye upgrade the one side when I turn on the ignition flickers like 15 times and then stops and is normal. Does it all the time

Then we go to install the one code eliminators for the HID kit for the fogs and it explodes something crazy. I emailed DDM last night and not response yet.

Just wondering why the LED are flickering like that. The fogs should work ok when I get another eliminator but the angel eyes flickering I have no idea why they do that seeing is its a straight up swap

Please help guys

Its weird Im not getting and errors on the dash but it does flicker. I emailed DDM twice and no response. You think they would have told you that you need a resistor

Im willing to give them a try where can I find these error free resistors and what wattage would I use ??

No idea how to fix angel eyes. But HID fogs these thing will help ;-) here is link

Bulb Out Warning Capacitors
Some cars will generate a bulb out warning message or even turn the headlight/foglights off when connecting HID to them. Our cancellation modules fool the computer in the car and allow the HIDs to work flawlessly.

KHOALTY | BMW Accessories | HIDs

40$ for them

See that weird i dotn have an issue with the fogs cause the one side where the error code eloiminator is one works just fine and the other side thats blown flashes on and off so Im sure as soon as I replace that it will be ok. My angel eyes is the concern.

Thank you for the insight though sobi6111

My guess is that shop just connected them wrong ;-) also it requires no so much power as normal HALO ;-) . I had same flickering when i tried to install LED H3 fogs ;-) they were flicketing like crazy. So it might be same with your LED angel lights.

If it doesn't change it attitude,just return them and get good CCFL,as they brighter than LED anyway impo.
