Ok, well lets start at the very beginning. How are the HID's wired both heads and Fogs. Is it employing the relay for the heads that draws power from the battery? How are the fogs plugged in? Are they using both OEM fog plugs.

The Bambi mod was done? Did the bulbs ever work as high and low or in tandem with the heads and fogs?

Just trying to cover all of the basics so we can go from there. Not saying you have not checked, but alot of the time it is something simple and we are over thinking the whole issue and it is hard to diagnose something w/o all of the background.

Ok that's a great start and covers alot. When the Hi/Low does not work with the fogs on does it stick on low or high? I had a problem when I installed mine with similar issues and had to re-do the ground for the driver side. Cleaned of the metal some more and re-did it.

Possibly, the ballasts/wiring might be bad. Not saying it's crap, but sometimes a bug gets through from the best companies.
