HID Lighting Issue
Hey Guys. New to the forum and the truck game. I have gotten my HID lights in for my high/low and fog lights. high/low works fine. left side fog works but right side does not. halogen light works perfectly in the socket but when installing the hid nothing. looks like the guy before me cut the fog light wires before and wired in a new connector but it is wired tight. sucks having one hid fog light and i cant figure out what is going on. Any ideas?? Thanks for the help

Usually hid lights run off 1 input and power the relay in the harness, first thing to check would be the harness wire, not sure where you are plugging in the halogen to test but usually that's a different input

The High/Low beam connects this way. I have the passenger plug set up for those. The way the fog lights work is that each light has a ballast with the two wires that plug into the light and a wire that the fog light cable plugs into to give power to the ballast. There is no relay for the fog lights. each one works independently. The halogen light plug is the same one that plugs into the ballast for power

I had a similar problem with my HIDs...I sent them back, and got a different kit. The second kit worked perfectly. My guess is that these kits are made cheaply over-seas, and QA is non-existent. Try exchanging, or refunding and getting a different kit. Just be sure to match the color you want. I.E. 6k, 10k, or whatever.

I have tried all combinations. Both hid lights and ballasts work just not on one side. I can look into exchanging as the other post mentioned. I'm on my phone do I can't respond directly to that messege. Had hids on every vehicle I own and never seen something like this. Super annoying. Thanks for your help so far guys
