hey guys i recently installed a vvme hid bi xeon kit in my 07 ram truck now when i power on head lights they work but then start flashing or flickering kinda on and off randomly how do i fix it i heard about resistors and capictors which do i need please tell me very frustrated i miss my chevy

 

06+ need a relay kit. Runs off the + and - of the battery. Ive never heard of the company you went with, but Im pretty sure its all across the board, 06-08 need the relay kit.

 

I had to wire 2 50 watt resistors (one for low, and one for high) to the harness. This is on an 05 though. Maybe it will work?

 

okay what u mean by relay kit the kit i got draws power from battery and uses factory connector for signal only seems like truck realizes new lights are in i need to create a load to trick truck into thinking its all factory

 

vvme.com i had great sucess running them on all other vehicles

 

Man there are more than a FEW threads on this. Dont take it the wrong way but we get a lot of noobs with HID questions so there is plenty of info out there on it but I will sum it all up for you

Our trucks PCM and FCM read a resistance measurement through the headlight and tail light bulb filaments. When a filament blows the resistance drops and this lets the PCM/FCM know a bulb is out and two things happen here.

1) the modules reduce voltage and
2) the Lamp Out on the dash comes on to notify the driver

So because HIDs are gas filled and not a filament type bulb, when you plug them in the PCM/FCM module does not see "bulbs" and those two things stated above happen.

But because the voltage has been reduced, the HID kits will normally strobe or flicker.

The OEM filament type bulbs are 55w/65w bulbs. One the headlight harness plugs there are three wires. There is the low beam (12v), the high beam (12v) and the common (-).

So by taking 50 watt load resistors and adding them onto the HID harnesses, we can used them to replicate the resistance needed to trick the PCM/FCM into thinking there are bulbs there and that will reciprocate the two issues stated above. In other words, full voltage will be supplied and no Lamp Out light on the dash.

Specifically, the resistors get wired as such. We know there are two ends to each resistor and there are three wires on each headlight. Take one load resistor and splice it to the low beam (12v) wire and the other end to the common (-) wire. The other resistor goes with one end spliced to the high beam (12v) wire and the other to the same common (-) wire.

I think this covers everything.

You can get those 50 watt load resistors or ebay for about $8 a pair

 

k perfect than k thats what i wanted to no what ohm load do i need

 

i think those on ebay are 6 ohm
