bumps....

please someone help.

i read in another post that the bulb (it only fits one way tho!) is upside down, or the wiring harness for hi's is switched.

if thats the case, how can i switch them???
the wire connectors only plug into to its own specific plug.,.


thanks!

To start, you know that you are blinding everyone on the road, right? I tried to use a PnP kit in my F150, and the glare is terrible. I am going to be retrofitting my truck with an OEM Acura TL projector and putting the proper bulbs into them so that the cut off saves everyone's eyes.

You might want to check out HIDPLANET for more information on retrofitting your truck with a true legal (well, mostly) HID system.

Is there a diode on your kit? if so try turning them around and see what happens. It looks like this is mostly a problem with BiXenon kits but a 2 second fix. hope this helps

I dont think theres is a diode (from lookin at pics of diodes...didn't really know what it was)

but all the connectors can be connected one way, cuz theres a clip that has to snap.

and same with the bulbs, they only fit one way in the housing....

Are there directions online for the kit, or can you scan and post your directions ?
A quick test ( to see if the ground location for the fog lamps is causing your problem ) is to pull the fog lamp relay, and see if you still have the problem.
