Default aftermarket headlight issues

Hey, I bought some aftermarket projector headlights with halos. I installed the lights and hooked up the low and high beams only and my brights signal wont turn off along with the high beams not working. Any ideas?

Depending on which kit you bought, it might be wired wrong from the factory......

yup ,theres like 4 other threads on this same problem if you use the "search this forum" option you will find a recent thread with directions on how to fix it.(search projector or halo)..basically you need to swap two of the three wires in your headlight plug... the headlights you bought are wired for sport lights instead and are marketed wrong because the guys in china figure a ram is a ram I guess.
I had the same problem 3 years ago when I bought mine.... let the seller know that you bought them from that this is a common problem... maybe (I doubt it) they will correct it in the future.

Here is what AugieDoggy is referring to when it comes to switching the wires.

I have a HID kit that would work in your Projecters. With high and low beam and will plug right up to your truck, but you will have to use the ptojecters. I got 2 kits last week like for reaons not known. I needed HD1 bulb, but got a Full kit again. Find out if you have 9004 or 9007 bulbs and I can tell you how to wire them. I had to do mine this past week and there is a big write up on this here
