Welcome to Dodge Forum. I apologize for being a tad late, but I will move this to the 3rd gen Ram section (2002-2008 1500s) for you. Hopefully they will be able to answer your question.

You might need to switch the connector. Unplug the connector and reverse it to see if it fixes your problem.

There are lots of threads on this and guys who had issues with HIDs flashing, strobing and give the Lamp Out on the dash. You need to use 50 watt load resistors to trick the PCM and correct those issues.

Do you have a HID hi/lo kit or HID low/halogen high kit?

Douing a simple thread search here on the board for HIDs will greatly help you and answer most if not all of your Qs.

Im not at my normal PC at work where i have my favs accessible or i would direct you to some links. But you finding them should not be an issue as many of them are out there
