I became a fan on facebook, and I have a 1995 Dodge Dakota SLT

 

There's a good discussion about HID's and how the lights affect the tire pressure system at http://www.ramforumz.com/showthread.php?t=48144

 

UPDATE**

I finally installed my HID that were quickly delivered to me by these guys. Install was quite easy BUT it was unsuccessful...at first. The relay was buzzing and the correct connections seemed out of whack. I was quite upset until I realized that I had the same issue with my charger. All you have to do is connect the HIDs to your blinker light AND NOT your headlights...that's it. Combine the connection so you can get the juice from the blinker lights and NOT the headlights. Believe it or not, the blinkers have, I believe, 14v or something like that. Its more than the headlights. enough for the HIDs. GOOD luck and enjoy as I currently am.

Headlights, fogs, radio etc are all working properly. Thanks.

 

I've got mine installed and have no problems with my radio. It wouldn't really matter to most anyways since lots of people have Sirius. No disrespect but I really think you are taking this FM radio problem a little bit too far. Every aftermarket mod comes with its possible side effects and for the price of these things the chance that your radio might not work properly isn't really a big deal. There are guys that install leveling kits and have horrible problems with burning through tires and shaking. Do you think the manufacturer of the leveling kit is really going to care? You aren't going to have perfect information on any product before buying it, but at least with these lights you can come here to the forum and get easy fixes like rapping them in foil should the problem arise.

I think you need to take your focus elsewhere and move on if you don't like this product because there are plenty of people who are happy with them.

 

Well, I appreciate your perspective. My frustration lies simply in the fact that I would like to upgrade my headlights and the best option seems to be this manufacturer who isn't willing to engineer a solution. I do use my FM radio and if it came down to upgraded headlights or FM, I'd keep my FM. You are more than welcome to disregard my comments if you disagree with them.

 

Have you bought a kit yet? If not please go buy from someone else if your not happy with the way they handle things.

 

Normally I would disregard your comments, but its unfair of you to attack a vendor for a problem that you haven't experienced first hand. I've been a member of a forum for every car I've owned and know how rumors get spread by one person to another and everyone just starts assuming its the norm. Now if you paid for the lights and spent the time installing them to find out your radio didn't work first hand, your comments would be justified.

 

Understand your perspective and just to double check myself to ensure I'm not being combative or detracting from the knowledge base here, I went back to check my posts to see if I was actually attacking the vendor as you say. Below is the entirety of my posts in this thread:

Please note that there is nothing in there which could be construed as attacking the vendor. Neither is there any rumor or innuendo. I read this thread from the beginning and found many negative comments. I asked the vendor some questions to try to satisfy myself whether this product is worth the money or likely to cause me problems down the road. I also wondered about why people are buying them knowing that they may present problems which have not been addressed. That's what the forum is for, isn't it?

I can appreciate the fact that you feel some measure of loyalty to the vendor. You spent your money and did the install to your satisfaction. Not everybody buys products the same way as you do. I'd like to be able to buy and install these things knowing that they are in fact plug and play with no possibility of causing problems with other systems in my truck, including FM radio and TPMS. As a matter of fact, I at least made the effort to post some additional info to help other potential buyers as well as the vendor understand the tangential issue of how these things may impact the TPMS.

Bottom line, my posts have been mostly directed at asking questions of the vendor. I'd love to buy a set of these, and likely will if/when the vendor is able to resolve the issues that other buyers have posted. I'm sorry you don't like me posting to address the negative aspects of these HIDs, but I am trying to engage the vendor to see if they are willing/able to develop a better product, nothing more. Again, I'm not attacking them and it's good that you are happy with yours, but I have the right to ask these questions as long as I comply with the UA, which I believe I have. If, in the process, the vendor at least considers methods to develop something a little better, then so much the better.

The vendor created this thread to engage potential customers, and I am a potential customer. They specifically posted: "Hi all, I am here to offer technical support related to HIDs regardless if it's our HID system. We have years of experience in HID and manufacturer our own HID in Asia." and I am simply taking them up the offer of technical support. As I said, please feel free to ignore my comments if you disagree with them. I apologize if you think the tone of my posts is too combative, but in the end, my goal is to try to engage some discussion with the vendor to develop a better product so that I can buy and install it with confidence.

 

goodluck with them i had a deffective bulb and ballast which they said it was rare. i was gonna order my headlights which i just got my fogs was gonna order them but ive had nothin but trouble i think i will go with another hid company as much trouble as ive had

 

This is ridiculous...how is he attacking the vendor. It's like there's multiple people on this thread working for this company
