I'm having the same issue, the TPMS light would flash briefly before but now if the fog lights are on the TPMS light is on and has no signal from the right rear tire...

Any luck shielding the ballasts? My passenger side that has the problem is mounted as high as I could get it under the air intake. The driver side is stuck to painted metal.

Bump

I am getting the solid pressure light too and no reading on the right rear tire. Anybody have any luck resolving the issue by moving the ballast around or using some hocus pocus?

Thanks,
Josh D.

I get interfence with my FM radio with Hidextra low beams and fogs installed. We tried moving the mount locations and didn't seem to make a difference. I only use Satelite radio so It doesn't bother me. But i would like to find a solution, whether its a different HID company or some other solution.

I solved the problem by taking the HID's out and going back to the stock lamps. The fogs were really bright, but IMO the projector HID's aren't worth the powder to blow 'em to hell... felt like I was driving with no lights most times.

I have everything for sale if anyone's interested.

Default tpms far away

has anyone thought that maybe the reciever is by the front driver side tire an the furthest tire away is the right rear...maybe the others are close enough an it doesn't effect the signal s much as the furthest tire......switch the right rear tire with left front an see if the problem follows the tire....just a thought
