I got HIDs installed in my fog lamps and now my front bumper sensors are going off as soon as I put my truck in reverse while having my fogs on...does this happend to anyone?
 
If it just rained then yeah. For some reason when it rains and I have my HID fog lights on, the front sensors act up like crazy and beep. It has to do with the ballast from the fog lights interfering with the sensor sensitivity.

A few others had this problem too. It only happens when it's raining or after it's rained. Its either live with it or get rid of the HID fog lights and go back to stock.
 
That makes sence because it's not doing it now...That's weird that the Ballest would case that in rain only.
 
Yeah for some reason the interference from the ballast makes the parking sensors act real sensitive to rain. I live with it because I love having HID foglights.

Nothing abnormal. Had same thing. HIDs affect parking sensors. But i had problem only in rain.
I just removed mine after that,as it annoyed me. Put 2500k halo instead and it looks great.

Not only when back up , bro :wink (2):
Any time you use parking cameras , sensors will act crazy when it rains or after when its wet.

Why don't you guys turn off your fogs when you reverse or does it do it even when the fogs are off?

Yeah you could just shut them off.. it stops when there off. But who wants to shut there fogs off every time you reverse or put your camera on.
