Help Please!! Bulb, SRS, CEL???

my mods are BR TBE and ACT HDSS Clutch and flywheel...
5 days after installing TBE, CEL came on, and it has been on since, I think it's because of High Flow cat ( I did not get tunned, I will, just waiting for intake and MBC)..
Last night my passenger side low beam HID bulb stopped working. It comes on when i start the car, and 5 secs latter it would go off.. It did that 3 times, and than stopped working at all..
Today, I looked into engine bay for any wires that were popping out, or burned, but none of that was there.. Wires were OK.
So, 15 mins latter I start the car, Check engine light is on off course, go out check the headlight and on passenger side it isn't working... Now I go back in the car and see SRS light...
So, any guess to my problem(s)... Thanks up front..

Also, when I looked for wire problems, i was checking if the bulb was connected right... I didn't take the headlight off, but right under the coolant jug there was piece witch had like little motor in it. It was connected to the bulb, and was making a quiet noise when I moved it a bit... Hope it helps.

As far as the CEL , just unhook your negative battery terminal and reset your ECU. See if it comes back or not. You may need a CEL fix if it really is due to your cat.

a tune will not prevent the cel due to running a high flow cat or straight pipe. like smarsenal said, youll need to get a cel fix (search antifouler). be sure to get the code read first from autozone, advanced auto etc to make sure that is your problem. as for your other issues make sure there isnt any water getting in through the grommet by the driver side kick plate shorting out the wiring harness. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...ight=srs+light

So OK.. I just read some threads, and find some things out... I think the reason for SRS light is because I was messing around with that yellow plug near the headlight, and I disconnected it... Thats a big NO NO I guess...

from the other thread.

9 out of 10 times that is the cause of the SRS light coming on .
