Default HID?

I have 6K headlights and fogs installed and I noticed that my airbag and battery indicator lights on the dash are dim. Anyone ever see this?

Any relay harness provided with your hid kits? Sounds like something is backfeeding your truck in either the fogs or the heads. I would try and isolate it by unplugging each individual ballast till the airbag light goes away.

I have a relay harness for my headlights, the kits are from DDM. It just started doing it last night, I had them installed for about 4 months with no problems. It seems to do it even when I turn on just the parking lights. Would led bulbs in the back cause this?

Could be a possibility just start eliminating one thing after the other and you should hopefully find it!

Possibly but I don't know how that would link to your instrument cluster lights? Unless it was backfeeding somehow.
