Sorry, i installed after market HID kit (with harness) at first, so there was no way to get rid off that error code on a dashboard, then I've connected everything straight to inverters but now computer senses the error (if engine is on; on battery it runs fine) lights start flickering and then go off. I tried to use capacitors with no luck.... My only suggestion would be to change xenon=present in diagnostic menu.

Sounds like you don't have the proper canbus harness for your hid kits. You can get some from the retrofit source.
