New to the forum, not new to installing HIDs but first time on a H13 (dual filament) style headlight. Having some issues with my wiring and I am sure someone on here has gotten projectors to work on a Dodge with H13 stock headlights.
Vehicle: 2007 Ram 3500 (H13 Headlights)
Parts:
To date, I have:
I think my next test will be to reinstall the High/Low Harness (because it is needed to operate the solenoid correctly) but also install a resistor on the low beam stock headlight wire to correct this on/off issue when the truck is running..
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Vehicle: 2007 Ram 3500 (H13 Headlights)
Parts:
To date, I have:
- Purchased the above items
- Opened up the headlight housings
- Installed D2S V2 projectors
- Installed the High/Low Harness, Canbus Ballasts and did a test run to align the projectors
- Then sealed the housings
- The above set up works perfect when the truck is not running. I am able to fire the low beams, activating the high beams (solenoid) and all is good
- When I start the truck is when I am left with problems
- With the truck running the lights completely turn on and off, sometimes turning off and staying off. (so not quite a flicker)
- They tend to always turn off when I toggle to high beams
- I mentioned my issues to a rep at DDM and they said the High/Low harness is interfering with the canbus HID kit. Which lead me to the trial below and removing the High/Low harness.
- I have since removed the High/Low harness and connected directly to each stock headlight plug, but without a relay I don't have high beams. When I flip to highs the solenoid engages but of course the low beams go off because this wire looses power. (hence why the relays are needed)
- Of course I could put in a powered secondary switch to active the solenoid. This would allow high beams with fogs, but wouldn't be a very user friendly way of doing high beams.
I think my next test will be to reinstall the High/Low Harness (because it is needed to operate the solenoid correctly) but also install a resistor on the low beam stock headlight wire to correct this on/off issue when the truck is running..
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
