I have an 07 with the same problem. I have had my HIDs for around 2 years with minimal issues that were easy fixes. Now I have no low beams. I have put in the stock lights and checked and re-checked everything. I have looked but found no fuses relating to headlights or even blown. I am actually debating on taking my truck to a local dealership unless there is another possible solution. I would be greatful and in debt to a solution. PLZZZ help

if the stock light work then i would look at a loose connection or bad connection somewhere. swap the ballasts from one side to the other and see if the problem stays or follows the ballast

if you have no low beams at all even with standard bulbs then it is likely the TIPM needs to be replaced. check with dirtydog on this for more info

The twitching of the light I can see it just fine through the video. The twitching is not from the camera as it was steady. Look closer and you will see. Maybe I am just picky but I would expect no jitter of no affect.

They do that even after the truck has been running for a half hour like they are still trying to light or something

dale... it's the kit that you have.. Either a defective bulb or ballast. I had a bulb do that on my truck with a cheaper kit and in my troubleshooting I swapped to a new bulb and it fixed the problem.

Just a cheap kit then you suppose Ben. Where did you get your from and when I have an extra 100 dollars laying around I will buy a new set but I really dont want to run into the same problems. One more shot at it is about what I can take at the moment.

You have the list of components you have installed and yours are will the resistors as well.

i got mine from

diodedynamics.com

but it might not be that your kit is cheap... defective parts happen.. I'd say swap ballasts side to side and see if the problem follows the ballast or bulb.. then contact your seller and get a new part.
