1. After you installed the HID kid, did the drivers side EVER work? You say the drivers side is "still out"- but i'm not sure if it worked for a while and is now out or if you were never able to get the drivers side HID to work. If the drivers side low beam light was out before you installed the HID and is STILL out, the problem might not have been with the halogen bulb or the new HID bulb, but with the factory wiring. But if you got the drivers side HID to work at any moment... then i don't know...
2. Your fog lights wont work unless the car can sense that both the low beam lights are working. If one low beam light is broken, the car wont let the fog lights come on.
3. You shouldn't need an error code fixer as there isn't a warning light sensor for the front headlights.
4. As long as you've got everything working (assuming you will) then the electrical tape method is fine. It's just to prevent water from touching the bare wires...
Thanks CD. The driver light was out before I tried to install the HIDs, so I'm going to try to reinstall new HIDs and if they still don't work, you're right - might be bad wiring.
Fog lights make sense.
If I have an error code included in the assembly, that won't hurt anything right? It should function the same with or without.
I actually bought H11 male housings on ebay, so I'll be able to insert the loose pins in the housing and make it plug and play. (see link)
