Default LED Headlight Issue

I just installed LED headlights and LED fog lights into my 05 F150 http://www.ebay.com/itm/231599609903?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
My truck is showing a dim symbol of high beams and when i try to use my high beams my fog lights turn off and wont go back on unless i completely shut off my lights and turn them back on. Also, my lights flicker sometimes for unknown reason. Anyone know what this could be or have any suggestions?

I would search the webs for info on load resistors. Pretty sure your truck is seeing the low current draw, and not liking something about it.

Could just be a poorly designed kit. Ive had genessi brand for about a year now, paid like 99 for and theyve been flawless and are very bright

Your problem is probably related to cheap ebay garbage.


I have a set of lifetimeLED head lights and putco fogs, never had an issue.
