Default HID's help???

Has anyone put HID lights on there new ram yet. I am having some big time problems with mine. I am new to Dodge, but have extesive knowledge in Japanese automotive wiring ect. I ordered plug and play kits for the hi, low and fog lights. The fog lights work fine. But the Hi and Low beam kits will cut on and work propery until you crank the truck. Then theystrobe non stop, if you cut off the truck they will stop. Ok so i built a harness because of a possibe amperage issue. I wired everything directly to the battery except I used the factory headlight power to trigger a relay to cut on the headlights. Now they will strobe for about 10-12 seconds and stop. I am thinking it might be some type of CAN signal pulsation, but again I am unfamilar with Dodge elecrtrical systems. Any ideas or help?

If I remember correctly, most guys have added some type of resistor. It has to do with the can/bus system and uneven power delivery. I have never installed them on the 07, but the fix was a resistor somewhere in series.
