Okay...everything you wanted to know about HID head lights and fog lights but was afraid to ask.
A few weeks ago I bought the H13 6000 K headlite kit and they would not fire up after install. So I bought them from Ed but he is just a salesman and needed to talk to Oscar (The HID GUY). He told me to unhook the battery and reset the computer and SJB. Well he was correct and everything has been great the last 2 weeks. So I pulled the trigger on the H10 HID foglight kit and installed them tonight. And guess what. The F'ers didn't work. 3 figgin wires and they didn't work. So I unhooked the HID's and plugged in the stock fog light blulbs and the **** things worked!! WTF?
So I decided to bypass Ed (the saleman) and called Oscar (the HID guy). So Oscar is great. He tells me that HID lights will not work if the polarity is not correct. He suggested that I turn the stock fog light plugs 180 degrees and see if that works. He said that stock halogen bulbs will work even if the polarity is wrong but not the HID's and Ford is terrible about getting the wiring correct. Well...Oscar is correct again. I reversed the stock plugs and now they work just fine. 
This modding **** is getting to hard anymore.

Nope....... this new job thing sucks. I've tried to get off the last two weeks and can't get away. I'm contemplating packing the kids up this morning though and heading to muncie for a run or two. It's just not enough fun when you're there without other dudes you know.
