Default 2004 ram 1500 80/100W headlight conversion - Help

Hello all,
New to the forum, need some help. I spent some time researching my issue and cannot find a specific thread regarding it so here goes

I wanted to upgrade my headlights to 80/100 so I bough the putco 9007 conversion harness. I know that they aren't the best harness out there, I upgraded to relays with Buell 30/40a relays and sockets, with twin 30A fuses. All connections properly soldered and shrink wrapped.When I did the install and turned on the lights the relay would cycle at about 1Hz, click, click, click.... Swapped relays, high vs low beams, same issue. I checked grounds, swapped grounds, all good. When I jump the relay to 12vdc it activates and holds, no problem.

Through some research I see that there is a TIPM module that controls the headlight activation. Could the TIPM be reading the resistance, overload, etc. from the relay solenoid and be shutting off as a protective measure? Is there any way around this?

Thank you in advance.

So reading through the HID light thread, I found these setups, would this be applicable in my situation and how would I search for them on ebay? all the links people posted have expired, thanks

Give Superbright LED a call, they probably have the above harness ( It appears to be one of theirs ) and can get in in the right direction, I have a bigger box at each of my lights that I got from them for a LED set up but worked with the HIDS, I honestly don't remember the name of it as it has been so long.
