I had intermittent errors as well but not on LUX V3s. I used the same drivers for my custom angel eyes but they had a CTL and REF pin to control the brightness via a 5K pot, which I replaced with an automated setup. Turning the pot down would make my car throw an error.

Anyway, I ended up coding out the bulb check system.

The drivers consume close to 35W but not quite. Try adding a 1 or 2 ohm resistor in between the driver and the connection at the headlight.

The resistor value I gave you is calculated off my car which has the angel eyes run around 7.7v, 35W. Not sure what voltage your car is getting but you can use the power equation to caulculate resistor size.

R = V^2/P

Not EVERY driver will be built to output a constant, EXACT 1A. Some will output a bit less some a bit more. So there is going to be a few units that will throw these errors. Only my passenger side was throwing the errors but I coded out the bulb check system for both sides.
