Ok so a friend of mine bought my h13 Bi-Xenon HID Kit from me. I had it in my 2006 ram and it worked 100%.
I sold it to him, he has a 2004 ram but the front end has the 06+ conversion. So he cut and wired in the h13 plug where the hb5 plug used to be for his bulbs.
Anyways, everything is hooked up. We used a multimeter to test the 3 wires on the trucks wiring harness and we found the ground, high and low wires. We then matched the hid kits high low and ground wires to be in the proper spot to Match the truck once the plugs connected.
The bulb (it's bi-xenon) moves in and out correctly for high and low beam, the high beam works properly, but the low beam flickers.
The kit has a relay harness and capacitors that I ordered with it so the Capacitors should stop the flicker.
Does anyone with and 04 know what we're missing here?? Why won't this work. Every connection was triple checked including grounds, Ballast plugs, + wire to battery, etc and very thing is wired correctly.
Do the 04 trucks require something else the 06 didn't, for this to work?
Here is some pictures of what the wiring looks like.
(***WIRING IS NOT SOLDERED OR HEAT SHRUNK BECAUSE WIRES MIGHT NEED TO BE MOVED, I KNOW THE CURRENT SETUP IS NOT "CORRECT" BECAUSE IT'S NOT DONE YET***)
1. This is the trucks original bulb socket harness. The wires (coming from the right) are from the trucks oem harness and right under the fingers is the truck side h13 plug.
2. This is the High-Low-Ground wires from the HID Kits relay harness that plug into the trucks h13 harness. We used a meter and found which wires were high-low-ground on the truck side harness and then cut and switched the hid kit wires so the high-low-ground were in the right spot to Match the trucks plug.
3. The whole wiring mess.
All I know is the high-low-ground on the hid kit plug matches the high-low-ground on the trucks bulb plug. So since those match, the hid kit has capacitors, the grounds are good, why are the low beams flickering but the high beams are working???
