Default OPT7 led bulb problems

Hi Folks, I have opt7 led bulbs for both my head lights and fog lights and have noticed then with the fog lights enabled, when I switch from high beams to low's the high beams stay locked on and the fog lights come on.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
David

Has to do with the current draw, you need to do the "bambi mod" to eliminate the problem. I had the exact same problem with my LED headlights and fog lights. Do a search for the mod.

You can also install LED Canbus Anti-Flicker resistors to your headlights/fog lights to prevent this from happening
