h.I.D. installation in the foglights/ Need help someone

For those who installed H.I.D.s in their fog lights did you add resistors when installing them or changed your fuses ? I seem to be havig a problem with mine that my right fog light goes out. Then after i shut the engine off and turn them back on they stay on for a while and then it goes off. I dont understand what the problem is. Can someone help ?

Yes you need error cancelers (or resistors or capacitors). None of the exterior lights use fuses so don't even look for them.

Cancelers should definitely help! They actually have capacitors in them not resistors. The capacitors help smooth out the electronic noise that HIDs give out.
