Exclamation Dead battery

Need help guys. Got a 14 ram. Got some cheap hids. Installed them. Only to realize they flicker n shut off. N need a warning cancellers so to save me the trouble I just took them out and put back the stock bulbs. But now my frecken battery is dying! Anyone know what the problem could be. Many battery went bad or is it something more technical?

Moving to the correct section. Please read the section descriptions before posting so you post in the correct section.


Have you checked the alternator and/or battery?? How old is the battery? Take the HID's out and see if it changes anything. On a side note, putting HID's in stock housings is not a good idea.

could also be a short somewhere. A constant short can drain a battery. But the post above sounds like a more likely issue.
