You make me want to drive to Cali just so I CAN drive near you! I would love to see you try and put mine out!

Anyway, OP get ready for a bunch of cry babies lecturing you on why you shouldn't have HID's in non HID housings, blah blah blah.

Are you using a relay harness? If so, you may have a bad ground. If no relay harness do what 2008f150 said. Also, key has to be in on position for fogs to work.

Take pictures from inside truck at night with just the fogs on, would like to see the outcome. Plus you will upset many ppl here, so don't take their insults personal.

Good luck!

Hey douche, Its not about looking cool, the blue light output does suck, I agree. I have 4300k in both heads and fogs, and the glare is not much more than regular heads. I don't run my fogs due to the bulb/fog not having a cap and scatters the light pretty bad, so I only use them when off roading or when I'm out in the country and no other cars are around.

I'm not going to spend 1k on headlights when I only plan on keeping the truck at most 2 years. I traded in my 2010 Escalade Platinum for my truck and plan on getting rid of it when the new Navigator comes out. So no sense in getting retro's just to please you and ppl like you.

You're not going to change my mind and probably nobody else's, so stop your crying, stop the name calling and move along, we don't care nor value your input.

P.S Doesn't matter what kind of headlights you take pictures of, they will all make a glare like your photo.

I don't see a glare..

Plus nobody is imposing the fact that retrofits are the only thing possible. What people are saying is that it doesn't matter how you aim them, just HID bulbs is a silly and ridiculous solution to more light. Obnoxious to every other driver on the road. And your HIDs have a ridiculous amount of glare, there's no argument about it
