For most HID kits to work there must be a Relay involved to cut out flickering and shut offs!! I have made a diagram to help show how to wire it up and what you need to have. I got a kit with all these components on eBay for 20 bukks and have had them for a year and not one problem1 But you have to have the relay for it to work!

Ive never heard of one of those relay systems working either. The HID flickers becasue it does not draw enough current, and the ECU thinks you have a bulb out.Do you think the Relay draws the same current as a headlight, LOL Nope! Youll have the same problem your having with the realy kit, trust me we've tried

well I just said that because the tards over at DDM told me try it and I did and it didnt work. If you can post a picture of the wire harness you guys have that make the HIDs work then I'll consider buying it from you, I'm just not comfortable with buying something from a place I haven't seen much before and that doesnt have a picture of the product that's all. I believe you that it works but I just wanna see the product and everything.

I dont know if I should say this or not but over on Dodge Talk (dot) com we are having a group buy on HIDs. Chad gives lifetime on the blubs and ballast and they are designed for our trucks. They have no flicker or strobing. I ordered a Bi-Xenon 6k 9007 for my headlights and a single beam 6k 9006 for my fogs for about $330. Good thing is they are US made and US supported. No China crap and lifetime warrantied.

take space out between Dodge and Talk. For some reason I guess you guys dont like links on this board.
