Ahhhhh..............I see RawRam2006.
You know, I have a set of those solenoid operated hi/lo HID's that I could never get working correctly due to the Canbus system. I didn't have the resistor/capacitor cancellors in that light package.
They have never been used.....just sitting on the shelf.
I was thinking, I could install these solenoid bulbs into my existing working set up and get my hi/lo beams to work as they should.
Hmmmmmm, I wonder if it's worth it?
I have a fully working bi-xeonon dual filament bulb in there right now.
These don't give the hi/lo dipping that the solenoid HID's give.
I feel an experiment coming on lol.

No mine didn't come with the resistors either. Had to install two of them inline with my "low beam" wiring. Or whatever it's called. But, it fixed the problem right off.
I love them. They were the BEST investment I think I've made thus far.

Yep...HID's all the way.
The very fist night drive I did with my then new Dodge I thought......wow......the stock lights are poor.
I'd never go back to "bulbs" lol.
I was just wondering, with your solenoid operated bulb design, do you get a dip/high beam pattern like the stockers?
Or is the HID's pattern spread just the same regardless of on main/lo?

RawRam- Did you install these resistors on both headlights, in the "low-beam" wiring, or just the drivers side, where the "power source" is? Im assuming both sides, since you said two were installed, but this HID stuff is so crazy and confusing, theres no telling....
Romeo-cool vid, and badazz truck bro. Do the lights turn on like that every time you use the remote start, even during the day? Just curious, but really digging the truck and everything done to it.

Yes, they spread light well. Put the hid's in my fogs too. Hella difference.
Only these trucks the only problem with the his kits are for the low beams. High beams n fogs aren't monitored. So, no need for resistors on those.
Yes, you'll need resistors for both sides of the low beams.
