HID problem with high beams and fog lights

I have been searching on and off for a couple days and found some post on the subject, but never really found an answer. Installed new HID lights with the high/low beem, everything is fine till i turn on the fog lights then the HID's go into high beam.

NEVER MIND, Im gonna try the bambi mod and see if this works. Thx

exact same problem here. hi-beam indicator light is faintly lit.

I will try to reverse the prongs from the fogs into the factory receiver. I hooked the blue wire (hid wire prong) into the red wire receiver (factory). And the black wire (hid wire prong) into the black wire receiver (factory). That seems like it should be correct to me but I will try reversing them.

that was blue-to-red AND black-to-black.

Does this sound like yours dem?

This is the foglight mod... been discussed multiple times. It involves pulling the relay and re-running the ground. Search the forums for this mod, it'll solve your problems.

I have the single beam HID's and my high beam light stays on all the time. But the fog lights still work. Anyone else know why that is?

Same issue here. Tried the "fog light mod." I now have low beam and fog lights working fine. Zero high beam. No indicator. no nothing. Will play with it more this weekend and let you guys know what i come up with.
