hi

its a 2008 grand caravan, the hid kit is made by RTX with is from robert thilbert, they are one of our suppliers, anyway its a telescopic kit, so the kit does high and low, but when i plug it all in, it seems that there is not enough power to run them, clicking and flickering, i have heard that dodge is known for this and there is a special way to wire them up, i also here that the voltage supply from the wire harness is not enough for them to work.

thanks

great site, by the way

ARE THESE ACTUALLY THE HID OR XENON HID. MY EXPERIENCE IS WITH XENON. ONLY ONE SETTING WORKS AND THATS THE REGULAR LIGHTING NO OPTION OF HIGHOR LOW SETTING AND IF YOU PLAN ON DOING HIGH AND LOW WITH ACTUAL TRUE HiD YOU NEED SEPERATE WIRING FOR HIGH.

they are HID lights, so is there a wire diagram or anything, because the plug and play part isnt good
