As many of you know by now I am the proud owner of a 2013 Ford Explorer Sport and as many of you have done I placed an order of two HID 8000K kits for the mains and fog lights to change those stock yellowish looking factory halogen lights that come with the Sport. I have received the two kits and while waiting to have the time to have them install I have been reading many threads and looking at photos here at the forum of those who have already done the conversion to hids in their Explorers.
My concern is that I have noticed from many of those of you that after doing this conversion you have been running into this little problem that when the light switch in the Explorer is set to "Auto" some of the lights do not go on right away and you have to turn the switch back to manual and then turn the lights on again in order for all of them to go on.
If this is a common problem regardless who you buy the kit from? or is there any other way to connect these kits without having to run into this problem.
I am a guy who keep the lights always on "Auto" . I have done this for many years with every car that I have owned with the Auto lights feature and I will like to continue doing it like it was with my 2012 Explorer Limited(of course that one had factory HID lights).
If this is a common problem then I will have no choice but to return back the two HID kits and leave the Sport with the factory stock halogen lights.
I will appreciate if anyone that has done this HID conversion can share their experiences with all here at the forum if they have come accross this problem.
Best regards,
Carlos
