I even have LED 9005 fog bulbs on my round fogs and no issues with high/low/fog function with the bambi mod done. I dont have 4x4truckleds but I have the
same light pictured by 2008_XL. They are Broview brand and have worked perfectly for 4 months now.

It worked thanks man!!

Yeah bambi mod... as someone else said and you did... but do yourself a favor, DON'T run those kind of LED's in your headlights, you are just going to blind oncoming drivers. Those lights are why a lot of people hate LEDs.

Bambi mod is the only way to make it happen, glad you got it working. Seems the older models have issues compensating with fog led's for some reason. Just make sure you re aim your headlights a bit lower, hopefully so you dont blind anyone.

Not the only way, a load resistor can be wired into the high beam power wire and accomplish the same thing.

Looking for more information.

I'm looking at these LED fog lights, I have the built into the bumper round lights on my 06 F150 XLT. I am not an expert in any way shape or form. I don't want to blind anyone but do want to see good. The information on these cheap led's are : 9005 HB3 12V 10W(normal)-15W(max) 6000K pure white 1000LM
Will these be bright enough or too bright?
Thank you. Having read all this information I know I will have to do the bambi mod as well.
