My kit is very similar to yours. It came fitted with a plug for H4 or something. Since our trucks don't have that fitting, I cut it off and wired it up. It's only three wires, so there's not many possibilities. I'm going to take them back apart tonight and see if I can't find a solution. Maybe I didn't try all the possibilities.

I'm very impressed with the light output and clarity. My mom has a Mazda3 with stock projectors, and it's not much different. The distribution is a little more consistent, but the pattern and brightness are definitely very close. Not to mention the fact that mine are pointing way too high. The high beams point well above the horizon. I need to adjust that as well.

Yeah... Haha.. I feel bad, but I'll fix it tonight. I just don't want any more tickets. Especially considering on my dash board the high beam indicator is on with my current issues.

That's the same issue that I am having but the indicator light only comes on when I turn my for lights on. If I leave the fogs off and turn the lights on its ok. HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP.

for the 3 prong wires, black is ground, that goes in the middle. the other two go on the outsides, try each way until the high/low is right.

Fixed!

I guess I'm an idiot. I got em fixed. I thought I tried it this way but I guess I did not. Here's a picture of what it should look like (with the kit I have, which is from "flashplus")



Thanks for all the suggestions

Mine doesnt have 3 wires. My kit has two wires and Im guessing this is why im gettint the high beam indicator light on my dash when I turn on my fog lights. I still need help.

How did you wire them up? Most fog lights are recommended to be hooked to your high beams. Maybe one of the wires is the trip wire for the dash light?

I couldn't tell you. Try contacting the manufacturer.

I will try doing that but I dont think they would be any help. I read a few post on here where some ppl had this problem but its hard to make out what they did to fix it.

Have you tried contacting those people? I doubt they would mind helping out a fellow member
