HID question?

So i installed a HID kit, a Bi xenon H13. It cam with a harness etc..

Now i have a problem, every time i turn on my fog lights when the lows are on, the HID in the heads switches to the high beam. Does any one know how to correct this or has any one experienced this with there bi xenon kits?

If when the fogs go on it goes from low to high, then you have it wired backwards (your high/low beam wires in the harness are backwards). When fogs go on it disallows high beams, so with fogs on it should always have low beams on. Once you do the Bambi ground mod, you can have high beams on with fogs.

If the wires were backwards in the HID kit on the connector would the fogs still stay on with the highs or turn off because mine still stay on..

I have the same problem. I just thought that was the way it had to be and dealt with it.
He does not have it wired backwards, I have installed 3 kits on these trucks and they all did the same thing.
