This is my first 2005 F-150 so please try to bear with me here.
When I turn on my bright lights (LEDs) the fog lights come on.
When the bright lights are off and I turn on my fog lights the (blue) bright light indicator comes on dim.

Next:
I replaced the rear interior light with a LED and it works great but I also found out that I could add two 194 bulbs on each side with little effort.
So... I ordered the two 194 LEDs along with the twist on sockets. However, the twist on sockets seem sloppy and don't want to make contact with out some goofing around. Are they special sockets that are a wee bit larger?

Other than this and a few things that the former owner did (like break off exhaust manifold bolts.) I am happy with this truck.

Your headlight/fog light problems is due to the LEDs in the headlights. You will need one of 3 things. Better LED headlights with build in resistors. Add in resistors. Or the bambi mod. I did the bambi mod and mine work fine now but I had the same issue as you.

OK So you should have given me a clue what the "bambi mod" was or where to find it. I just joined yesterday and I am really new to the truck as I have just got it last week.
Thank you in advance

I believe the "Bambi mod" has to do with a programmer. Someone correct me if I'm wrong

IIRC, nope. Just jumping a relay.

Here you go.

I will try that today and if that doesn't solve the problem then I'll go get the load resistors and see if that works.

Thanks everyone!

It will solve the problem. I have done it.

A special thanks to all the replies for this problem and suggesting the "BAMBI MOD".
The whole process took about 10 minutes from finding the tools to putting them away.
It works like a charm.
FYI
When I took all the plastic apart I found that directly under the fuse box on the floor there is a channel that was FULL of water. I know it will stop raining tonight and the next few days it is to start drying out so I drilled a 3/16" hole and the water went running out for a good 15-20 seconds. Yes, it was full. I'm not sure where it is coming from but I will be getting a can of "Rhino" and spraying the under body from the rear door forward. I will also check out the driver's side tomorrow.
Thanks again for your professional assistance.
