Need Fog Lights Coded

Hey everyone so I just recently installed BMS 5000k HID fog lights and struggle to get both of them to light at the same time because I have been getting either Left or Right Fog Lamp Malfunction on i-drive.. Whichever side says malfunction does not light up, I have the cable and am in need of someone who can remote code the bulb check on start up off and to code out the errors to see if it fixes the problem.. BMS told me they will give me a full refund but I would like to try this first, thanks alot guys!

When you get lights "coded", it just means to disable cold/warm checks of the said bulb. If you have the cable you should just try it yourself.

Not sure if that would fix your issue though..

Yeah I know and thats what I need help with disabling the cold/warm check.. I am intimidated by the software and prefer someone who knows what they are doing to do it for me. I think it will help because the lights only don't work when I get the specific malfunction for that particular side.. (i.e) I get left fog lamp malfunction on startup and the right works perfect, after a little while the malfunction goes away and now the left one works.. It's a weird situation

I'm in the same boat, but my problem is with my angle eyes. I've recently installed hid lights for my ae and it's either one or the other one doesn't light up on cold start ups. Once I start driving awhile and restart the car, both start to work. Would coding, possibly be the same fix?

Yeah even after driving my left one starts to flicker and then turns off and I'm greeted with a left fog lamp malfunction immediately.. I am just returning mine and getting a new brand because I think my ballast or bulb is bad so I am going with High Performance Bulbs (HPB)
