Default HID lights

Ive just installed HID lighting on my 2002 Ram....man they are bright
Has anyone else done this install?....if so, my question is, my "lamp out" (for both left & right side headlights)warning light is on.....how do you turn it off/ by pass it/ whatever?

Thanks

Default RE: HID lights

whats up man i got 2 sets in my 04 ram 1500 foglights and headlights....i checked around and i dont think there is a way to get past that only way i kno is to go buy HID bulbs with the hi/lo beams not just the low beams....and if you havent noticed yet if you use the cruise control it wont work all the time it will just shut off from time to time....its rediculious i kno but like i said only way to get rid of it is to get the hi/lo beams...

somerandomguy175, what kind-of set do you have and how do you have them hooked up? directley from the ballast to the hid bulb or from the battery to a relay then to a fuse and etc.... i have a set and it comes with a ton of wiring, it starts at the battery, then goes to a fuse, then goes to a relay that splits to the ballast and another line that connects to your stock socket, then it connects to the ballast and finally to the HiD bulb. Was your set this involved?

Shoedork, I have the one that has the battery lead with relay. (I did not hook it up that way)
Somerandomguy, I paid the extra money for HID hi/lo beam....I have not tried the cruise control yet.
I have had the HID for 2 days now and love them. BUT, I noticed one thing this morning. I went to the truck this am. (it is 39 degrees in Florida this am) and the lights did not want to ignite. It would try to ignite, but not completly turn on.
Have any of you had any trouble trying to light them when it is cold outside?!

Default RE: HID lights

have you had any problems? oh if you wanna get rid of the bulb out indacator you have to buy 2 more 9007 sockets or whatever you want really and splice them into your actual stock socket (the wire that controls the high beams) this way fools your comp.Check outdodge talk . com and goto the 3rd gen forums, then to 3rd gen general tech i belive. Anyway there are a ton of guys there that have the conversion done and have alot of usefull tech on the matter especially getting rid of the lamp out indicator.
