HI/Low wiring help... 04+ almost got it

Ok so I wired in my cheapo ebay projectors and HID kit. Everything works escept the hi/lows when the lows are on. With it wired per the diagram below here is what I get..

With my headlight switch off, flash to pass on flashes the highs. Perfect!

With only the parking lights switch on. The hids remain off, FTP only flashes the highs (perfect). And the halo/leds are on.

With switch set to low beams. The halo/leds turn off, Hids come on, but they turn off with the highs (No good).

The fog lights are unaltered and work like factory.

So my question is how to bypass the highs killing the lows when the lows are turned on. As of now, the parking lights and low beam wires are what was used to kill the FTP from flashing them. There has to be an option that will get me around the FTP.

I don't have any of the free things to post pictures so I can email the bmp of wiring if someone wants to see it.

these are the lights I have...

So I found the bambi mod. Looks like you bend the ground tab so it is always grounded. But that would only get my fogs on with highs. I am really looking to leave me fogs alone so at least that's legal. lol. But i wonder if there is a low beam relay that you can do the same thing to.

ah. You'll have to excuse me. I was misreading. I see now that you don't have a hi/low hid kit. I misread that you were having trouble with the hi beams being stuck on. My fault been a long day..I do NOT know how to help you with that sorry.

The highs aren't stuck on and they are halogens. The lows are hid and the issue is that the highs are shutting of the lows. Much like the stock H13, when you turn on the highs it turns of the lows.

no luck finding that thread. I've been searching hi and low (lol) I can't find crap. Or at least nothing specific to what I'm trying to do.

Hah, I thought I posted the link last night.

Here it is https://www.f150online.com/forums/el...ojectors.html?

It still doesn't fully answer your question, though it might give you an idea

lol, that was my thread also. Still leaves me confused. This weekend I will have to break out the voltmeter and try again. I'm so close. I am going to see what happens if I use pin 1 between the mfs and high beam stalk. Maybe that's the wire. If not, I may finally give up.
