I get this every day. Didn't happen until I changed the bulbs though. Not sure why it started popping up but I just turn the car off and back on and no problem. I'm sure one of the fixes will work, but I haven't tried it yet.

BTW what bulbs are we suppose to use?

Mine came with H7. I heard we're suppose to use D1S? Does it make any difference?
