HID kit dilemma

"too pissed off to search?" I get pissed off working on the truck all the time, but I have enough resolve to still run a search before cluttering up the forum
I am really happy that people are helping you with your problem, but as a warning - You shouldnt say things like "there are plenty of other people who can lend a hand and help out", implying that the guys on this board owe you their advice. I would recommend the next time you make a post that you ask for everyone's help, rather than expect it.
Good luck with the HIDs

Ok so I finally put the resistors in on the lights and my low beams work.....somewhat
the hi beams just don't work at all, they flicker on and off real quick every 2 seconds
the low beams stay on now but while I'm driving they're shut off and turn back on in a quick flicker every now and then, then they will shut off for a bit and I get to panic while driving and shut my lights off and turn em back on real fast lol. Just hope they dont shut off and stay off while I'm out...
Anybody know what the deal is or would I be better off just ripping them outta my truck, returning them, and saving for a real kit that doesnt have downs?
Thanks guys

I orderd a set of these for my truck and should be here today. did you get the warning code eliminators from them? "Warning Code EliminatorSome cars will generate a bulb out warning message or even turn the headlight/foglights off when connecting HID to them. Our cancellation modules fool the computer in the car and allow the HIDs to work flawlessly."
i ordered them with my kit.... ill let you know how things work out when i get them installed (hopefully tonight) Also i would not consider these cheap, i have ddm in my motorcycle and they work perfect.

I did the 25W 100 ohm resistor and it only made the low beams work, but they still shut off once in awhile when I drive so Idk what the problem is...
bigpappaholt if those work with it let me know and you'll be a saint lol, I didnt think I needed them at first and of course after I looked I saw that it said "may be needed for chrysler or mercedes vehicles" so basically it was stupid on my half. But my dad also e-mailed and called 2 places and they said I dont need it so that's also a mistake on their behalf
basically if the warning code eliminator makes the lights work perfectly then I'll buy it and hopefully be done with this annoying pain in the @$$ of a problem haha
I just hope right now it actually is my low beams on because I've had 2 ppl alright flash their high beams at me because my lights are BRIGHT (6000k 55w) and flood the road with light haha. But they must be fine cuz I went by a cop and it went right in his window and he didn't do anything so I'm all good...unless it was my cousin and he didn't care lol
Thank you guys for all the help and input
