[QUOTE=FreezLe223;3189436]Also halogens was originally in the projectors i am not using the low beam wires anymore. i have spliced them and put my hids in. but i am wondering where do i install resistors like i said i am on a relay harness.[/QUOTE

I know your not using the halogens but with hid kits you will have to use the resistors on the p side headlight socket even though your not using it you will still have to wire a resistor between the low beam 12v+ wire and the black ground wire in center of headlight socket on both sides
Driver side resistor needs to go somewhere between relay and the headlight socket you choice where you want to splice it in but must be either on the factory headlight harness or the relay harness before the the relay on low beam same as p side 12v+ low Beam And the center Black Ground wire not sure what colors will be On your relay harness just see what color is plugged in center pin slot on the relay side

Hey guyz, I finally get through my hid issues. I came back to a previous configuration that caused the 4wd issue and now it works flawlessly since 3 weeks. When I had this 4wd issue, the resistors were not installed. My theory is that the bulb out warning (never seen it in my dash) had a kind of trouble and it may confuse/interfere the 4wd sensor. With the resistors installed within this configuration, no trouble anymore.
Edit: Thanks for your patience and help .

I just install my hid's to my 2011 challenger I put the relay and the canceller and but I don't know what happen my light stay on even if I turn off my switch and turn off the car still the lights on so my only solution was taking the fuse out witch sucks I need help asap!!!
1) incorrect wiring/installation
2) bad relay (contacts could have welded together)
3) incorrect wiring harness being used (wrong vehicle)

just recently got a 02 dodge ram 3rd gen then put 35w ac ballast 6000k bi-xenon have the relay harness and the resistor I'm having a weird but common problem when I open the door the headlight come on for a split sec and when I turn the headlight on I sometime get a misfire problem on one of the bulbs sometime both but when they fire up their good after that even if I turn them off wait 5min then turn on without opening the door.it seems the ballast putting it self in a protection mode when I open the door and they flash for a sec.I know their nothing wrong with the stuff because I put it on my dad 99 f-150 with no problems

06 ram 1500 night runner edition HID problems
I bought OPT7 HID light kit, with harness and resistors. I hooked everything up according to the diagram and nothing works or has power. I cant figure out what I'm doing wrong. my friend has a 09 2500 cummins and when we hooked them up to his truck they worked fine. is there anything different you have to do for the 1500?
