[QUOTE=FreezLe223;3189436]Also halogens was originally in the projectors i am not using the low beam wires anymore. i have spliced them and put my hids in. but i am wondering where do i install resistors like i said i am on a relay harness.[/QUOTE
]
I know your not using the halogens but with hid kits you will have to use the resistors on the p side headlight socket even though your not using it you will still have to wire a resistor between the low beam 12v+ wire and the black ground wire in center of headlight socket on both sides


Driver side resistor needs to go somewhere between relay and the headlight socket you choice where you want to splice it in but must be either on the factory headlight harness or the relay harness before the the relay on low beam same as p side 12v+ low Beam And the center Black Ground wire not sure what colors will be On your relay harness just see what color is plugged in center pin slot on the relay side

Hey guyz, I finally get through my hid issues. I came back to a previous configuration that caused the 4wd issue and now it works flawlessly since 3 weeks. When I had this 4wd issue, the resistors were not installed. My theory is that the bulb out warning (never seen it in my dash) had a kind of trouble and it may confuse/interfere the 4wd sensor. With the resistors installed within this configuration, no trouble anymore.


Edit: Thanks for your patience and help .

Welcome to the site. Here are a few options I can think of

1) incorrect wiring/installation
2) bad relay (contacts could have welded together)
3) incorrect wiring harness being used (wrong vehicle)

Nothing is wrong. It's normal

Exclamation 06 ram 1500 night runner edition HID problems

I bought OPT7 HID light kit, with harness and resistors. I hooked everything up according to the diagram and nothing works or has power. I cant figure out what I'm doing wrong. my friend has a 09 2500 cummins and when we hooked them up to his truck they worked fine. is there anything different you have to do for the 1500?

Are you using Canbus ballasts with your car? check the polarity also on the ballasts, maybe you hooked them up the wrong way

Kinda hard to wire it wrong. If you are using a harness, the headlight plug on it plug into the OEM headlight harness from the truck. The red goes to (+), the black with the ring terminal goes to ground. The two ballasts connect to the plugs on the harness and of course the bulbs connect to the ballast.
