HIDS and Resistors

[03 Rammer]

*If you have a hid kit that is hid low and halogen high, You will not need to do this. Simply buy some capacitor packs and install.


Bixenon kits only follow this below, i.e. hid lowbeam hid highbeam

Supplies needed:
1. HID kit
2. 2 or 4 6/8ohm 50 watt resistors (depending on single/dual beam HID kits)
3. 2 9007 female connectors
4. Thermal tubing
5. Butt connectors/Solder
6. Heat shrink

First install the HID kit you bought. Test it out, If you experiance flickering, strobing, flashing, turning on and then turning off, LAMP OUT light etc. You will need to do the following.

*** IF you do not want to use resistors thats fine there are other ways such as using Caps or buying a more expensive HID kit.

NEXT starting with the easy part, the Passanger side unused plug.

With this side all your doing is tricking the FCM as to if there is a 50/55watt bulb there. Simply use a 9007 connector and add the resistors to both beams or just one beam.Then ground it.

Plug it in and and test the lights again...

***REMEMBER RESISTORS DO GET HOT SOO DONT TOUCH WHEN ON AND WATCH WHERE YOU MOUNT THEM AT

***If you still have any issues follow the next steps.

Moving on to the driver's side.

This is where you have a few ways of doing this but I will describe mine.
Do the samething as you did on the passanger side. Then take the wiring from the HID kit and follow the following picture.

Once this is done connect it to the trucks 9007 male connector and test it out. At this point you are done and the lights should work.



IN A NUTSHELL:


IF YOU DONT WANT TO MAKE THESE YOU CAN BUY THESE PRE MADE FROM HERE:
50W Resistor Plug Play Pack

Dont know what bulb your truck has, visit the below link:

links don't work

do you have a lamp out light?

[03 Rammer]

No lamp out at all no flickering or stobing. No issues at all.

[03 Rammer]

links fixed

thanks
i need to get some 50w resistors for my pass side.
fyi 30w do not work to remove the lamp out, only to remove the flickering

[03 Rammer]

No prob, I have heard very few say they get them working with 20-30watt resistors but down the road the same ones post up about the the annoying lamp out light. lol

The 50watt resistors trick does the job.

Also wanted to add if you bought a hid low and halogen high. You will not need this in most cases. You can solve all your problems with a cap pack or adding caps to your kit. I recomend getting the cap packs very cheap. I got mine free from hidextra.com.

The new kit works with no issues and no lamp out light either.

[awe]

^^^ I agree the caps from hid extra work very well in the trucks. They didn't work in the avenger though. Alex I have an extra set of caps you wanna try them.

[03 Rammer]

I've seen the cap packs on Orlando CL for 10 bucks pack of 2.
