I just installed a set of HIDs in my fog lights and only one light comes on. The other one comes on for about 1 second and then goes off, then comes back on about 5 seconds later and then goes off for good. I have switched the bulbs and ballasts around the both work fine on the right side, but won’t work on the left side. I put the factory bulb back in and it works.
I just installed a set of the same lights on my buddies ford and it works just fine. I am going to try and put some bulb grease on tomorrow, but I am stumped on this. Do the fog lights have to have a relay or something light the lows and highs? Has anyone put hids in a 2012 yet?
Thanks!

I have HiD's in my fogs and lows. I did put capacitors in the fogs even though they say they do nothing and mine work fine. I do have a relay on the low beams.

I bought the can bus kit from Hidextra on black Friday. Purchased capacitors and relays for fogs and lows. I got the 55w 8k kit. The relay wouldn't work for the fogs as it is too short. I put the capacitors on the fogs mainly to give me enough wore to mount my ballast where I wanted. The capacitors just keep your dash from throwing the light bulb out code but the fogs don't have that sensor I believe.
