I have researched this all night on this forum, but still not sure on the answer. I have seen that you can run aftermarket Hid's for the 3rd Gen Dakota's, with a relay, but it seems like everyone that has done it has an 05 or 06 Dakota. I have a 09 Big Horn Edition Dakota has anyone with an 09 or up ran hids with the relay set up with out problems? I am looking to install a set this weekend in for headlights and fog lights. Any help would be great, I am just wondering before I get into this project- Thank you guys in advance for your help.

 

I have a set of the bi-xenon HIDs and a set of normal HIDs in my 08 (basically the same as an 09). With the relay harness, the bi-xenons in the headlights work perfectly. The fog lights work without a harness. Both were purchased from HIDExtra (seller on this site). They ship quickly, and the lights look great.

 

Thank you for your reply-

 

Just curious but are you sticking these HID's into the stock housings or did you purchase an after market pair?

 

I dropped mine into the factory headlights. Seems to work well enough.

 

How bad is the cut off to other vehicles on the road. I had HID's in my grand cherokee with projector headlights and I would still get flashed when I just had my low beams on. I have seen a guy with a F150 in stock housing and its pretty linding at night to look at

 

It seems to be pretty good. I have yet to be flashed, and the beam seems pretty well focused downward. The fog lights are a whole different matter, but they haven't been an issue yet.
