You might need the OBD ll reader to read it again and erase the codes to see if they'll come back again.
YEAH!!! I went ahead and bought a new set of filters and put some LUCAS fuel treatment in the tank and drove for about 50 miles... (got a new CD to listen to) and VOILA the error code went away towards the end of the drive!! The tank was already at half so I just threw in 1 full bottle and left the tank at half.

I wish I would have done it one at a time to see what was the real problem but I just wanted the problem fixed. So it seems that the O'Reilly bulbs were not the problem after all.

The Air Filters were trashed so I think that may have been the MAJOR problem. I need some K&N's like I have always had in the rest of my vehicles.

Thank you to everyone that contributed to help solve this!!
