HID help!!!

I just finished putting in my hids from vvme.com they look great, but I cant run my foglights while my head lights are on when i trun on the fog lights the brights come on and i know normally without hids you cant run fogs and brights at the same time. Has anyone had this problem or know what i am doing wrong and how to fix it? thanks

I am on the same boat as you and I think it's the company cause I bought mine from vvme also. But I have not found a solution yet.

Bambi Mod

Basically you just run a jumper wire to a ground and makes the fogs stay on while the high beams are.

Now that I reread your post I realized that you are having another problem. You dont want your high beams and fogs to work. You just want your low beams and fogs to work, lol. IDK what to tell you on that one...

sounds to me like the Hi beam wire is in the spot where the Lo beam wire should be.

pretty easy fix.

VVME has their stuff backwards. Apparently this is a siganture to their products. I know a few people who have the same issue. You just have to flip your turn signal lever forward to drive with low beams......The issue is inside the bulb, so no fixin it.

Maybe contact VVME and see if they will fix it.

Please keep me posted, I just ordered the complete Bi-Xenon and Fog setup for my 2008...? Going to be really pi$$ed if I run into BS with a straight forward install. For those that have run into the problem is it a wiring issue with the ballast and does it run in the standard and slim models or is it an issue with the bulbs as indicated by Dirtyd88...?

Please advise...!
