Resistors have one wire on each end. Not hard to install a resistor.

But you will need something in place and of all the installs i have done, none was ever given me issues when using resistors and to this day, resistors are on my truck

 

Ok so I got an hid kit off Amazon and I got it all hooked up has the resistors in it and they work perfect with the truck off but when I start it the hid hi beams work but the low beams flicker then shut off

 

Either you have it connected incorrectly or you have a loose connection.

Since you are running HID hi/lo you should have four 50 watt load resistors. Two should be on the P/S and 2 on the D/S. On each side of the truck, one end of the resistor should connect directly to the high beam wire with the other end to ground and the other resistor with one end to the low beam wire and the other end to ground.

 

get these it will be a plug in play setup

an also I went projector on my 02 so much better then then hid in the stock housing

 

Ok mine only plugs into one light plug so would I need 2 of them or how would I need to go about that

 

You can buy those pictured above and wire them as Immentioned in the previous post or just buy the resistors and wire them in as mentioned

 

here the item

step1 plug in the resistors on both sides make sure you wrap it in header wrap or have it away from any plastic or rubber because these resistor gets hot
step2 get the relay harness plug it on the driver side with the resistor on it and wire the grounds and the red wire with the fuse to the battery
step3 put your hid in your headlight plug the ballast an tape or tied the ballast down put everything together done

 

okay so I'm having trouble now I had to replace my resisitor on my truck the hid work but in low I still get lamp out but when I turn the high beams on all the light turn off for a sec then back on an the lamp out goes away when I flick it back to low just the lamp out come back.

 

You have a bad or loose connect somewhere. You can always take an ohm/volt meter to test the resistor. You could use the same to test power at each connect point coming to see where it stops to help track down your problem

 

I have a 2009 Dodge Ram 2500 Mega Cab 5.7L Hemi (I believe 3rd gen?? just bought the truck not to long ago) I installed HIDs into my fog lights and the only way they will turn on is if I turn them on before I start the truck. Does anyone have any ideas what might cause this issue??


The ballasts I have are Maxlux CanBus ballasts, I read that maybe I need to change them but wanted to ask here first. Any help is appreciated.
