03 f 150 hid problems

if you want a simple fix you can do this to one or both sides. go and buy two 1157 light bulbs and two sockets for them. take the two possitive wires and twist them together than connect them to the hi beam wire from the factory harness. than ground the third wire on the new bulb socket. there is other ways to do this but this is by far one of the easiest. the problem is the car needs to see a ground path of about 6 ohms (which would be similar to when a light bulb is present) and if it does not see it , it seems an issue. and you cant just put a resistor shorting between gorund and the hi beam wire because if you by mistake hit the high beam it will melt the resistor fast. if you dont want to go the light bulb way there is load resistors generally used for led turn signals however if there are on for most than pulses they to will burn up. so again i say a bs light bulb is one of the fastest roots or the last thing is this. your gunna need two diodes per side . find the parking light wire the possitive wire actually going to the parking light bulb. cut it and place two didoes on the line coming from the light bulb. Butt connect the two diodes to the possitive wire (BULBSIDE) one with the strip of diode facing bulb and one with it facing away from it. now connect the diode with the strip facing bulb to the original parking light wire. and connect the other diode to the hi beam wire. this does not work on all cars but i have used it in the past to stop hid flickering and such. this method should let enough ground path signal to prevent hi beam light out error.Jon
