Newbie with reflector H/Ls replaced with ZT HID got a O/S bulb failure warning

Hi, I am a newbie to the club, mine is a Y2K Cowley built pre-production 2.0 V6 Connoisseur SE. I have just had the factory reflector H/Ls replaced with a pair of ZT HID, I bought them used from eBay claimed being in good condition, I have the dashboard warning msg prompted to indicate the main beam on the O/S is failed while the N/S one is working good without the issue. I have checked that all bulbs are actually working good. I have my mind coming up if the igniter requires replacement? I would swap them for a try just bumper has already been back on. Lazy me I have just wondered if any expert here would advise.

Thank you so much!

The issue has finally been sorted by itself. For those planning to replace their reflector/projector H/Ls with HIDs, it may take some time to have the bulb failure msg cleared by itself if both HIDs are not hooked up in one-go. I had initially put the N/S in first and then powered it up for a test before installing the O/S, the main beam bulb out warning stayed still for mins until I fired it up again in the next morning.
