Default Yet Another HID Problem

OK, so I finally got my HID kits installed today on my headlights and foglights. If I just turn the headlights on, everything works perfectly. But once I turn the foglights on, my headlights go to high beam. Then if I turn the high beam on, my fog lights will go off like they are supposed to do. So what would cause the back feed for the high beams to come on whenever I turn my fogs on?

I'm going to contact the company, but their customer service is horrible, and I won't get a response until atleast Wednesday.

I just installed xenons. the wiring harness plugged in on the right side with only one relay and ran all the way to the left side and powered that ballast as well and it works great.

that is how mine are. the relay is on the passenger side for each harness, then goes across the front to the drivers side.

its not the high beam light, that light indicates that your fog lights are on, if you click highbean you can tell the blue gets darker right? and your fog lights are supposed to go off when you highbeam, its against the law to have more then 4 head lights on at the same time or have your high beams on with other lights on

sounds like a ground issue. ground the ballasts to the truck instead of using the puny stock ground.

I was thinking it is a ground issue as well. For the headlight harness, I have a ground coming off each side going to a bolt that i mounted on the radiator support. The foglights there is only one ground, and that ground is hooked directly to the battery.
