Default 2012 oem hid

Replaced my stock headlights on my 2012 F150 with OEM HID's in Dec 2013. Everything worked good until a few weeks ago. now when I try to put the brights on, the headlights go completely out. Pull the level and the dims come back on. Any thoughts on the issue??

Had the same problem. Check the high beam fuse in the passenger floor fuse panel. That was my issue.

Could also be a bad relay in the H13 wiring harness.

I'm going through the same thing on my 2013, I just installed mine, they have never worked. Replaced the relay on the harness, still doesn't work. I pulled the hb fuse and put it back in and the hb started working. Got in it tonight and no highs again. Everything else works fine. I'm going back to stock tomorrow to make sure they are working.

The HB fuse is in the panel in the passenger floor board on my 2013.

I'm keep a spare harness in the toolbox knowing that they are often the weakest link.
