Need Help
Need some serious help.
I bought and installed new headlights and fog lights today. After installing them my parking light and fog lights went out. the bulbs are perfectly fine and are working. Also the dash cluster lights are out to and the dinging noise you get when the lights are on but the doors open its not dinging anymore.
Also it is a 2005 FX4 5.4L.
problems
Parking lights not working
Fog lights not working
Dash cluster lights not working
Dinging light reminder not working

Geez, what are these headlights and fog lights (manufacturer)?
What type of bulbs are installed? Were they supposed to be "plug and play"?
Did you do any mods prior to the swap out, such as allowing the fogs to work with your high beams on?
If so, unplug one at a time, and try the lights again, as perhaps one (or a set) were wired wrong in the wiring connector.
1) Unplug just one foglight, then try the lights; unplug both fog lights, then try the lights.
2) If above did not create a change, then unplug one headlight, try again. If no change, plug thast headlight back in, and try the other.

All the bulbs are plug and play bought from auto zone

No mods for the fog lights and high beams to be on at the same time
