HIDs problem.

Hey guys, I got a new HID kit and am having some issues. I bought a Bi-xenon kit and installed it (its not a installation error, i know how to install them.) Turns out that my fogs dont turn on and my brights dont work. So i messed around and plugged in my old relay harness and ballasts with the new bulbs, and now the fogs work, but still no brights. Also, with this setup, my brights indicator on the dash stays halfway lit, then when i turn brights on, all that happens is my fogs go out. To add to that, my left blinker clicks at double speed. Any ideas/suggestions? Anything will help. Thanks!

What year is your truck. You can probably fix it by doing the Bambi Mod... search for it.

Have you installed any other non-OEM lighting, like LEDs or anything anywhere?

It's an 07 Screw. And no, no other lighting installed. Just HIDs. And i can't find a decent guide anywhere of how to do a Bambi Mod

This is what I'm thinking. Ok, the bulbs have the 3 wires like every HID bulb has: The 2 AMP male/female connectors and the thing with the 2 prongs inside it. With the new ballasts and relay harness, everything goes perfectly except the fog lights don't work. This may because the fog ballasts are a different brand but I'm not sure. So when I put my old ballasts and relay harnesses in, the 2prong thing cant connect because theyre both female. But doing it this way results in no brights, double time blinker, and the half-lit brights indicator. Do you guys have any suggestions?

Return it back to the point where the fog lamps do not work, and do the bambi mod

HIDs can be a real pain when their equilibrium gets off.
