Default High beem headlights come on when I turn on my fog lights.

I have a 2005 f150 fx4. Replaced headlights and fog light with led bulbs. Now when I turn on my fog lights, my high beems come on. Why? How do I fix this? I've checked everything 1000 times. All wires are right, no shorts, and it's the correct bulbs for the truck. Please help. Thanks.

Yeah, there is not enough resistance in your wiring now. You are better off running LED heads and halogen fogs. I think the "bambi" mod may cure this as well though. You will have to research "f150 bambi mod" and go from there. Give that a try.

So I should be able to install resisters to resolve the problem all together, right?

Not sure, I know with cheap LED headlight and foglights, people get this problem. I have read doing the "bambi" mod will solve the issue. The bambi mod leaves the fogs on when the high beams are turned on.
