Default service engine light

so i installed my o/r x today with mils (which were both used), drove it for about 1 1/2 hours and no light. so i took it out again tonight, and about 20 minutes into my cruise the service engine light came on. i'm going to double check the o2 connections in the morning, but is there anything else i should do to make to make the light go out? i know the car runs rich when the lights on, so i would like to take care of that asap. thanks

The mils are more than likely the problem. Stop at autozone and have themcheck the code it`s throwingjust to make sure.
