After I wired everything up the....

DDM Digital HID's turned on.

Relay from the wiring harness started buzzing. I replaced the relay and buzzing stopped for the time being. Edit: Constant clicking from the relay is back...

Check fog lamps still comes up on the display.

Did I go wrong somewhere?

Update: I removed the relay harness and installed the hid's again. Everything works as normal. No BOW light. No flickering that I can see during the day. I'll check again at night.

Any ideas on what the problem is when I use a relay harness? I definitely don't want to use the fogs without a failsafe. I replaced the relay with new ones twice. The ground is located at the factory NEG bolt used to jump start.

your vehicle is all can-bus related and you need to make sure your kit can handle the can-bus signal
