That eliminated the issue and it was the only problem I ever encountered. I just took the one relay that was clearly corroded to Autozone and they matched it up with a replacement.
Unlike the ballasts, the relays aren't exactly waterproofed. Try cleaning the relay or replacing it, and make sure all connections are secure, especially the power and ground. It's my guess based on what your saying that the one relay that I didn't replace got corroded either from it getting wet since you installed it, or maybe it was on the way out when I pulled the kit.
All in all it's a real inexpensive part and easy to unplug one and plug the new one in. The dash light I never knew about because mine was always on from my LED tail lights, who knows - maybe fixing the relay will cure this problem too.
Best regards.
The reason you have the headlight out light is because of the relays. If you remove the relays from the system, and connect the HID kit directly to the headlight wires, this will eliminate the warning light. You also will not have to connect anything to the battery thus cleaning up the engine bay of extra wires. The relays come with some kits because it is the ideal way to install the kit to ensure that it is getting enough startup power, but our cars headlight wiring is sufficient enough to handle a direct connection to the headlights.
