I have an 07 LE. I installed 6k low beams but for some reason cant figure out why the fogs arent working. I double checked all the wiring numerous times and still cant get them to work. I'm also using a harness to wire everything up. Fuses are all good. Any write ups? or how to's?

the plug that goes onto the ballast is probably hooked up wrong. take if off and put it on the opposite way. good luck

I thought i tried that. I had to do the same thing with my camaro. But i guess i will try it again tomorrow. Is anyone using a relay harness?

If your using anything less than those 55W HID kits no need for a relay, Ive had my 35W 6K HID setup without relays for over 1 year and work great, no flickering.

Thats for both my headlights and Fogs (6K too).

Good luck

got it working. Didnt have to reverse the 2 pin plug. I had to cut the oem plug off and use the plug supplied with the hid kit. No big deal. left enough room so if i have to put stock lights back in i wont have a problem. They deff. light up the road a lot better then stock. ALthough i had to aim my headlights down some. was blinding the people in front of me.

No.i just couldn't use the oem clip. It was to big to.fit.on the ballast and i didn't want to hack it up to make it fit.

hmm thats a weird plug...oh well at least you got it to work...but yea with the aiming of the headlights casue no projector headlights (stock) its useless aiming them they will scatter light like crazy lol but still super bright compared to stock!!

Have fun with em at night, makes the truck stand out!

They were aimed a little to high. When i was behind a camry my lights were aimed right at there rear view mirror making it impossible to see behind them and cars coming at me i could see i was blinding oncoming traffic. so i aimed them a little down and works wonders. I'm eventually going to do a retro fit in the headlights with projectos.

deff. keep us up to date on that retro fit. i think i read somewhere someone used caddy lights or acura lights to retro fit there path

You can use infinity projectors which seem to fit the best. But ou can use any bi xenon projector.
