I recently upgraded my headlights and fog lights. I installed HID low beams, LED high beams, and LED fog lights. Everything works great except for when I turn on the high beams. The driver side Low beam goes out and the passenger side stays on. I made the recomended changes with aplhaobd and I have not experienced any faults or flickering whatsoever. Not sure what to do or check on. Could it be wiring or a programing issue? Has anyone had this issue or know of a possible cause? Any help would be appreciated.

Try swapping the low beam LEDs from left to right, see if the problem follows, if not try swapping the high beams. Trying that should rule out if it's a LED or truck issue.

I have HID low beams and LED high beams.

sorry, my bad for some reason the knoggen registered that you had LEDs in both highs and lows :-(

See if the low beam goes out with just the ignition on but the engine isn't running, that might rule out if it's the CANbus turning the low off.
Try swapping the ballasts from left to right of you haven't.

I finally figured it out. I used the Alpha OBD and went through the settings. I changed the Bi xenon lamps to yes and now all lights stay on, low beams, fogs and high beams together. Perfect for offroad.
