H.I.D. Fix DIY
This is my first DIY so yea. I know there are a BUNCH of threads about this, but none of them gave me a clear answer or instructions on how to fix my problems so maybe this will help someone. It got dark so I couldnt take pictures but I made this sweet picture!
Parts:
2- 4700µF 35V 20% Axial-Lead Electrolytic Capacitor
Link:
http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...ductId=2102508
Price at Radioshack: $5.49 each
1- Pack of 16-14 Gauge Blue Interior Disconnect and T-Tap Connector Combo with Male Connectors
Price at Autozone: $7.99
Heres a drawing I made showing the actual H.I.D. kit wiring harness:
1. Plug on H.I.D. kit that plugs into factory wiring harness
2. Positive (+) Lead coming from said plug
3. Negative (-) Lead coming from said plug
4. T- tap connectors in place on positive and negative leads
5. Crimped male fitting on the T-tap connectors
6. Capacitor in place with directional arrows going from positive (+) to negative (-).
Steps:
1. Start by locating the positive and negative wires coming from the plug that goes into the factory connector. (SEE FIGURE 1)
2. Then crimp in the T-Tap connectors. (SEE FIGURE 2)
3. Then crimp the wires from the capacitor into the male connector that came with the T-tap kit.
4. Then with the arrows on the capacitor going from positive (+) to negative (-), plug them into the female end of the T-Tap connector. (SEE FIGURE 3)
5. Hook H.I.D. kit up and enjoy!
If you have any questions/comments, post here. I tried this on 3 different Rams and it fixed all of my H.I.D. problems.

Good write up. Dont worry about some of the responses you get on this thread. 2/3rds of the people on here dont know what a capacitor is let alone what it does. As for the 1/3rd thats left only about half of them know what a cap is and when you ask them what it is and what it does they say "Its that big battery lookin thing that keeps my headlights from dimmin when my bass hits" But there are some here that understand. I am glad Im not the only nerd hangin around here...

Nice write up for those who want to save some pennied or have the excitement of doing it themselves. I'm just too old for that crap..lol
