Sounds like EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) at work. Check the grounds on the new HID's

Thanks guys for advice heading to the shop and checking other alternatives .i really like that hid look especially 8k but i refuse to screww my durango up permanently. The shop heas offered to refund me the $$$ if they cant get those low beams to work without causing major problems.

What were the codes though? Did they use a harness and relays to install the kit? Which kit was this?

This was discussed in a bimmer forum. And with all the electronics in the D today got to be some sort of interference. Check the grounds most EMI are grounding issues.

Heres the update guys .i finally got this hid installed yesterday .They used a wiring harnessand relays plus a resistor . it seem like thjs dodge computers are sensative that itll shut down .so far no problems no codes on the dash .the only thing is i did see the Tire pressure monitoring system icon pop up but it turns off after a few seconds. I will monitor this and update everyone . Thanks guys check back in a few days.
