I just installed an hid kit from Xenonhid on my 2013 ram. All I did was the low beam for now. I got the best ballast they make. It's a 55w ac canbus ballast. I also got the relay harness too. Ok so since my drivers side is hooked to the relay harness and my passenger side is hooked to nothing I'm getting a lamp out on my passenger side. My main issue is I'm getting a clicking sound when the lights are on but only while I'm driving. If I put my foot on the brake it goes away. If I come to a stop it stops. So there's no way of me getting out to diagnose where the noise is coming from because it doesn't start doing it until I start driving again. If I turn the fog lights off it gets worse but still stops at the same points as described. The lights work fine. Just those two issues. Would love some help in the matter. Thank you

What about the clicking noise? Will this go away once I add the resistors? Thanks

I installed two morimoto transistors on my low beam circuits. I did this Saturday. It did fine Saturday night and Sunday night. Did fine this morning too. Got in truck to go home from work and got the low beam headlight out warning message. I hooked the launch up to it and I've got a B162E-15 code which is right low beam control-circuit short to battery or open.

My high and low beams are SEPERATE. They aren't one bulb. Anyway I found my issue with that. One of the resistors came unsoldered inside of the case so I had to resolder the wire. My next problem is I went ahead and bought a kit for my fog. They automatically **** the fog light circuit down and I had codes saying both fog light circuits were short to ground. I thought they weren't can bus? Anyway I didn't buy a harness with this set so I'll buy a harness and hopefully will work. Just hope I don't have to install resistors on my fogs.

Ok so just found out that starting 2013 the fog lights are now wired into the canbus system. It will not turn on a bulb out message but will require canbus ballasts and highly recommended to install a harness too.
