Default Burnt lightbulb symbol is on, but all the bulbs are ok...

This pisses me off, the warning comes on after about a minute after I switch on the headlights. If I turn them off and leave just the parking lights on, the symbol goes away. I cheched and all the bulbs are fine. I had my HID kit on for the last 4 months and this is the first time it does this.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Default A friend had this happen on one of the tail lights. One side was dimmer than the other.

Replaced that bulb and no more problems. I think one of the dual filaments burned out.

Default verify that all bulbs are the recommended ones

I had one that was different ( some mechanic put one that fit into the socket) tripping the light

Correct, if one of the bulbs is the wrong wattage the warning will come on

Default My wifes 93-100 did this. Drove me nuts (you married guys can relate)....

Turned out to be broken solder joints at autocheck plug connector in the back of the instrument panel.
Easy fix...frustrating search.
