I bought headlights with a projector and a high beam. After instalation when switching to high beams the projectors go off. when switching back, the hid projectors take a while to come back on and warm up. Where can i get a harness to keep the hids on?

 

That would be the next step before anything else IMO

 

I've had a Kensun 8000k HID kit installed for about 6 months now. They've been perfect until a couple months ago when the passenger side would intermittently go off (noticeably when traction control would kick on) Since Kensun wasn't getting back to me in a timely manner and I had a spare harness laying around, I decided to swap it out in the event that was the issue - no go. Hooked up the passenger side to the drivers side, and the drivers to the passenger side - the issue remained as the passenger side (of the vehicle, not the headlamp assembly). All the testing was done with the truck turned off, but the headlight switch turned on (upon getting everything hooked up). By the end of it, I had stock bulbs in which wouldn't turn on on the passenger side. Figured I would make an appointment to get it checked out at the dealership, but low and behold it turned on upon actually starting the vehicle. My fault for thinking it would start without the vehicle running (although it should) - but I'm curious as to what I would need to get these working. The stock bulbs are garbage and I have yet to find a pair of halogens that are worth a ****. After all that rambling, I'm hoping someone has had a similar issue and knows of a fix. I'm hoping it's as simple as just getting a relay harness. Vehicle is a 2018 RAM 2500 Laramie diesel.

 

Swap harnesses of it follows the harness it's bad. Or your HID bulb could be failing. How do you like that HID kit? I am running OPT7 and I love them.

 

When they work they're great.

 

Do you have the anti flicker module?

 

KenSun is going to send me a harness. (In my original post, I meant to say "ballast" rather than "harness"). Hoping that solves my issues.

 

Hopefully that fixed it!
No you should no. Only time those are needed are for turn signals or instead you can use a LED flasher

 

i have a Morimoto Elite HID running in 2.5 projectors. 2009 Ram 1500. I'm using the HD relay with the Capacitor link canbus module.

So here's the problem. With truck off or in park, the lights work perfectly. It is only with the truck in gear that issues seem to arise, but not every time. For instance, today I made a run to the dump. I did not turn the lights on when I left home but a few minutes later as I pulled up behind a trucks (where i could see my reflection) I turned the lights on and only the left light would fire. Then I turn them off/on and neither will work I can maybe get the left to fire but the right is always worse. Then after I get home and pull up to my shop, they will still not work, or maybe just the left headlight. Then after a few minutes with the truck being off, they will both function perfectly. Retrofit Source tech support is baffled. Can a ballast or igniter be bad, but only some of the time? Could heat be an issue? At this point I'm willing to consider any possible solution to solve this problem because right now, I cannot drive my truck at night.

 

Just out of curiosity i had a issue with one of my hid headlights going out the driver side passenger is fine the entire kit was about 3 yrs old so i bought a brand new kit and updated everything, I also bought the anti flicker relay harness bundle, I hooked everything up the way it was stated in instructions " passenger side truck harness unplugged " ran the new relay harness new ballast new capacitors new ignites everything, they worked fine for a week and now all of a sudden everything got bright for a split second driver side went out passenger stays on but dimmed down a little bit from when they both worked and can not figure out the issue for the life of me. I have talked to opt7 where I got the kit from originally when I first had it for the 3 yrs they worked perfect until I had this same issue and figure maybe just needs to be replaced, this was there replay on steps to do

"Thank you for that information.

What we would recommend is try uninstalling the relay harness and capacitors (black heat shrink connectors)
Test the kit without them. If the issue still happens, add just the relay, then add the capacitors.
If nothing seems to help, we would then recommend a return for refund. Please keep us posted as well.

Thanks again"

what do you guys think
