Good deal, so I ordered the relay kit and hopefully I will have the same luck and not have the flickering. The high beam indicator is half lit and when I turn the high beams on, the indicator is fully illuminated. Why is the indicator half lit and how can I change that?

What is the bambi mod? Let me know how it turns out, because I will definitely do the same if it works. Thanks in advance.

 

Here is a diagram. It looks real easy and is supposed to fix the no highs/fogs at the same time and clear that half lit high indicator.

Bambi Mod done, no more issues.

 

it doesnt bother me about the high beam indicator lamp. maybe i will look into this just in case one day i get bored and feel like workin on it.

 

It was easy and took like 2 seconds. I did it too cause i am going to order HID's for the fogs in a bit and now the highs and fogs can both be on.

It will be like a blue supernaova off road.

 

You can tie in a resistor to the high or low beam side of the headlight harness to eliminate this problem. I used the high beam(green/white I believe) and the center wire. Use a test light to verify. The resistors can be bought at Schucks or www.myhotf150.com. They are far cheaper at Schucks though. $10 and you get 2. The are called a load equalizer and are used to make LED taillights blink at the normal rate rather than quicker. They only downside is they get very hot. As hot as a light bulb so make sure you mount it aways from vital items. I secured mine with Metal Tie wire right above the headlight mounts. I mounted it to metal so it could act as a heat sink. This is what I have found works best for me needs, however the "bambi" mod sounds kinda cool.

 

Alright, I've been reading through everyones posts and had some similar issues and have resolved them. I ordered the BI-Xenon kit from OMNIX motorsports for my 08 F150 FX4 SCrew. My fog lights would kick on when the headlights were on high-beam and shut off on low beam. My high-beam indicator light would also be dimly light when my lights were on. The main reason is because your stock halogen headlamps run at 50watts and the factory settings automotically trigger the fog light sensor when your high beams are on. HID's require significantly less power to run b/c the ballast is doing the work (less than 50W) therefore improperly triggering your fog light sensor. I purchased a pair of resistors from OMNIX motorsports for about $25 and installed them. It solved both problems instantly and my HID's now work exactly like the factory system. The resistors send a message to the fog lights so the truck thinks the headlights are now producing 50W.

 

im going to head out and perform the bambi mod.

i installed the HID relay so its connected to the battery and uses the headlight harness as a trigger for the HIDs. its the actual relay kit for this purpose and everything works great. HOWEVER, when I unlock my truck, the headlights are auto on, when I go to start the truck, the one side just shuts off, so I have to switch the headlights off and then on again. any ideas?

 

In your manual look up the keyless entry and there is a process to turn off the auto illumination. I cannot get it to work, but am going to have a guy at Ford do it for me and hopefully it will work. That will help with that issue because you d onot want your HID's on when you start the truck.

 

That sounds backwards. The fogs turn off when the High beam switch is activated. I have never heard of that happening. That is why the bambi mod/fog mod exists is so the High beams and fogs can both be on. ANd why would you want to add a resistor and heat buildup to anything if you dont have to as AKM pointed out?
