ok boys im new but my brother has an 07 f150 5.4 extended cab flairside and for christmas i got him a nice bixenon hid kit for the headlights and a cheap ebay set of fog light hids the same setup i have in my 07 mustang but he is having issues with his it works fine if he just uses the headlights but if he turns on the foglights the high beam light on the dash comes on only half lit and the high low function in the headlights doesnt work anybody have any idea how to fix this im mechanic so i checked all the stupid things and nothing seams to have worked even tried the foglights on at all times mod so any other ideas
thanks

I am trying to find you the answer. It has something to do with how the fogs/headlights are linked and the high beam. The fogs/high beam at the same time mod is one step, but I am digging for the other half. Bare with me.

 

thank you very much id really appreciate it

 

Whew....read that post and never found a decimal point anywhere; I almost fell out of my chair reading it!

Sounds like a power drain loss on the "cheap" ballast units that came with your HID fog lamps setup. I too bought my HID kit from Ebay; paid about $90.00 for it. Came with the 8000 Blue low beam only lamps (bright enough where I do not need high beams!). My fogs and low beams work fine, and when I select the high beams, they too work.

I hope you come up with a fix to your kit, but I've got a feeling your problem lies with your cheap kit. You won't want to hear this, but you get what you pay for.

 

Unfortunately I have found nothing that fits with the high low not working other than the wires are plugged in incorrect.

Sorry

 

i dont really know where i am at now but i think you might be right the cheap kit might be to much of a drain on power so im thinking a relay might fix it up so ill try that because i had a lot of problems with the setup in the mustang because of relays but mostly because i needed digital ballasts ill let you guys know how its working out

 

I had the same problem on my 06 f150 fx4 and I did the bambi mod and it took care of the problem. Everything works fine now and the bright light indicator is not half lit and the fogs work with the low beams and highs.

 

what is the bambi mod you speak of?

Allows highs + fogs and eliminates that half lit high beam indicator light.
