Awesome, Thank you. I will get them today. I appreciate your reply.
What led's do you have for the head lights? I was going to replace with halo projectors, led may be better.

You are welcome. 4x4truckleds.com have a good sale going on theirs. I have a set of theirs and 2 other sets from ebay that are exactly the same for 1/2 price as 4x4truckleds.

These (offer him $50 and he will barter with you, these are in my truck):

Thank you again. You have been a big help. I'm going to check into buffing my lights to see if they clear up or not. These are a lot less money.

Yes they are, I need to adjust mine now, took it for a ride last night and see it's now exactly where they need to be. Not one person flashed me so that a good thing! I wish now, I would have done this years ago.

They are Broview brand and have worked perfectly for 4 months now.
What is this Bambi mod?? I'm having a similar problem. When I try to turn the fog lights on, my hi beam indicator shows up on the dash but the hi beams aren't on and fog lights won't turn on.

Can anyone give me a definitive answer to this??

I've read on a few sites that with HID and LED kits, you shouldn't use the auto lamp cause it can cause damage to the CPU/electrical system? But other sites have say it's perfectly ok to use the auto lamp.
Which is it!?!? Hahahaha

Bambi mod, works for all 04-08, thread says 04-06, but its old. I did it on my 07 and others have done it on their 08's.

Default Bambi Mod Done

I had to lookup a few things... Bambi is now done the headlights and fog lights all work like they should...
In the picture notice the relay has three pins in a row... My 06 XLT only has two, no middle pin. Bent the bottom pin the same way and it's all good, so if anyone doing this mod is missing a center pin, don't worry about it, keep going everything worked the same for me!
