Default 2005 fx4 HID problems

I just installed some hid's in my truck and the high beam indicator stays on no matter what i do. I have pulled fuses and relays for high beams and day time running lights(Canadian truck). Nothing has worked to this point. So of course the fogs lights dont work. When i flick highbeams on the light goes off. What could be the problem and any easy fixes?
Thanks in advance.

If you did.t buy bi-zeons how ever you spell it you only got low beams. Search hids on this forum and youll find everything you need to know and more. Hids are asked about so much on here that most people wont respond. Theres a "sticky" called like "everything hid" and there is tons of info. But i honestly think youll need a different kit of your only getting one beam. (high or low) Hope that helps some.

they are the bi-zeons and both functions will work if the high beam fuse and relay are in the truck but the highbeam indicator is still on when in the low beam postion. i tried search the forum for "hid" and it wouldnt pull anything up.

Did you buy a H13 bi-xenon bulb ? If not thats your problem.

comfirmed with the company that the bulbs are the bixenon. they told me the issue will be with the day times or the wiring.

Has to be a stuck or bad relay somewhere in the kit you bought. Where did you get the kit?

local supplier that is a friend of mine ordered it in for me, but if it was a stuck or bad relay why would plugging in a fctory bulb with the hids make a difference?
