08 dakota hid issues !!!!
So i installed h13 hid kit in my dakota. I wired them up as the instructions said and had the common flickering problem. So i rewired them so they are no longer use the stock headlight wiring plugs. The headlights worked lo beam but when you in d theres a loud humming noise from the left fender.Also when you put the hi beams on the humming noise starts again. If i truck the lights on it no longer humms in drive. How do i make the loud humming vibrating stop? I looked for fuses and but cant find anything. This is also a canadian truck.Help Help Help

From what I understand (and I could be wrong) the humming is the trucks relay protecting the truck side of things.
Since the hids are trying to draw power from the daytime running lights / Highbeam wire, and not getting enough current (I believe) which is why the truck relay is humming, its protecting the truck and not letting the needed power go to the Hids as they need more than the daytime running lights are normally given from the truck. which is what causes the flickering.
mine also does this, but only if I have the lights switch in the off position when I put the truck in drive.
Dodge does sell a fix for this, its another set of relays that need to be wired in along witht the hids to fix the issues we are both having. I believe its around $30 for the relays from dodge.
Hope that helps a bit.
