Any help is awesome.

How's it going? So i recently installed my HID lights into my truck. The first night i got to use them one would flicker and shut the other be on then i started to do the normal operations to see what went wrong and they worked fine probably installed wrong way. Anyways that night came and wanted to see the lights light up a rd thats low light to begin with and compare color and stuff, so like the mornon i am i Shut my headligbts off and tried to turn on fogs nothing happened. So i immediately HL came back on. Anyways thiers what happened i installed HID lights. Lol
These are my questions
1) Where is the Fuse for these lights? ( bought new ones so eliminated they went bad)
2)What Fuses or whatever do i need?
3) other then a Ford Stealer(dealer) can i find what i need? If the fuse or whatever went bad.

Your owner's manual has fuse box locations and fuse charts. If you don't have one you can download one.

And im still clueless

Ok so i went into the owner's manual and changed all fuses and lights and all. I and my buddy/mechanic friend checked wires, all checked out fine. Went to turn all lights on still nothing. Only HID headlights are on.
So then i dont remember what i did other then bring the light switch a click back and pulled the switch out and they came on. So they have power to them and they look great match my HID. But now they will not run together i can only run the Fog lights only when its at the interior lights position and out.
Soooooo what do i have to do? Lol thanks

Fog Lights still not working

Gonna try and make this as simple as my dumbass can for you guys.
Ok so i installed a set of HID into my vehicle. That night while driving home and comparing the stovk fogs to the new HID the fogs just went out. So i was like hmmm okkkk no more fogs. So changed fuse and bought new bulbs, check all points for current flow and checks out ok.
now here is the confusing part. The fogs will not work when i pull the switch when headlights are on. But if i go a click back and then pull switch out the will turn on. What can this be?
Did i lose any of you? Thank you

Raymond, I merged the second thread you started on your fog light problem with the one you posted earlier. Duplicate threads on the same subject lead to confusing responses that can waste your time and cost you money.

I think your posts are a bit confusing, but in essence, it seems you might have a wiring fault in the HID headlights that you installed, since your troubles started with those. I'd VERY carefully check the wiring of those HIDs and make certain they are correct.

The Fogs normally do not work with high beams on. Only lo beams.
Check this out.
You did not say anything about being in hi or lo beams.
All trucks come wired this way because it's a federal law.
Good luck.
