I had the same issue
I had this problem as well. My truck wouldnt cycle when I put hte hi bemas on. The fogs would go off as they should but then the hi beam light would stay on and the lights wouldnt change. The truck thinks that one of your headlights is out, so its the way of letting you know. What I had to do was get a dummy harness that connected to the plug for one of the headlights that wasnt in use since the HID's were installed.

Yeah, I love the 5000K's. I had a lot of trouble seeing at night before I put them in, now I don’t have any issues. I hear what the guys are saying about the scattered light, I have a pretty wide pattern, but they are aimed pretty low. I do plan on doing a retro-fit mod at some point in the near future, but the kits are pretty expensive. I know, I know "If you can’t afford to do it right, don’t do it at all". But until I have people flash me and/or flip me off because of my lights, they are staying the way they are.

This is a similar set up http://www.carhidkits.com/wiring-ada...-pack-378.html.

Another option
Here is another type, a little bit cheaper as well. its all the same concept. Just a resistor so your truck thinks that there is a headlight there. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HID-F...mZ320727532247
