You can install them ut the light output will generally be chit because those are halogen projectors and not HID projectors

2006 Dodge Dakota - I bought the CANBUS kit from HIDExtra on Black Friday
I installed the kit and the lights work fine (35w ballasts, 8k, etc..). However, once I turn off my lights or flash my high beams (halogen high) my low beams will not come back on..After I let the truck sit for a few minutes they will come back on again when I turn the switch and stay on. They work great for me and I love them but my problem is I can't shut them off because then I have no lights for atleast 10 minutes. Its like once the ecm goes into sleep mode and everything shuts off they will activate again. I bought capacitors from the same vendor to try to fix the problem (they actually recommended capacitors but said a relay was optional). Plugged those in Saturday and I have the same problem..nothing changed. Any ideas?

So I just recieved my 35w CANBUS HID kit from newegg, no relay harness included even though it said it did. I'm guessing I'm gonna need this before I even bother with the install, or can I temporarily run them without till the mfr sends me one.
I know man. There have been guys who have done it but from all I've read of there feedback, they didn't like it.
Again, there have been some who went ahead and wired them straight to the OEM wiring and it worked but i like throwing fact of having a harness so the relay takes the load and not the OEM wiring.
But if you think about the HIDs we put on our fogs, they don't have a harness.

I used a relay kit for my fog hid's! They did work fine hooked straight up, but the start-up current isn't good for any of the OEM connectors(i.e.headlight switch,tipm,cluster.etc)
I have a low beam HID kit with fogs too. The other night I went out, parked it for a little while,fired it up again and cut the lights on ( I have the low beams and fogs wired to the fog button) and nothing came on.. have had these working for 3 weeks until now. Thinking it is a blown fuse or a relay. Any insight?
