Weird issue with HID

Manutea · Mar 31, 2013

Im having some really weird problems with my projectors.
I installed then maybe 2-3 weeks ago and they have been working great so far.
Until 2 days ago, i start my car and my right Bulb flickers.
I know about the warm up stage, but it will blink for like 3 minutes until it comes steady.
What is really weird is that it works great when the engine is not running.
But blinks as soon as I turn it on. it does flicker quick at first, and then slows down until fully working. Almost like an elongated warm up.
Anyone know what that is?

everything works awesome before the computer gets involved (truck off, no computer interference).

What type of harness are you running? Any pics?

I dont have any of the kit connected.
But they are the ones I had a hard time putting on.

Thank you

Sorry, I don`t understand which ground you are talking about :/
The projectors were basically plug'n'play:

Just connected the blue plug to my OEM one, and tightly placed the ballasts on the body of the truck

It really looks like you need to replace the plug n play stuff with a harness.

I will soon start stocking these inhouse, but can drop ship this week if you'd like one.

The Mopar specific Morimoto CANBUS 9007 Harness will run $50 shipped in the states.

I might be interested.
But how hard it is to change?
You think that blue harness is no good?

0212353 · Apr 1, 2013

just need to hook up the connections, all good to go.

I don't think the "harness" there is good........

So the one from the headlight to the Ballast?
Btw, it is working at all anymore; However, My fog Projector does.
Also, Another issue I have is with my right fog projector (I think).

You can clearly see here that my left projector aims at one area whereas the right one kinda "wanders" around, not being as directed. Any idea ?

without really knowing what you have there.......well, we are grasping at straws.

For the fogs, it looks like the drivers side is aimed straight down. The adjuster is on the front, right in the top. Aim it up!

Here are other pictures of the Foglights, and it doesnt seem like it is only a matter of aiming the projector right. Im not sure tho

Left Fog Projector:

Right Fog Projector (defective ?):

take pics at 25ft. projectors can do funky stuff at 5ft.....or 10....lol

just need to get a view of it to see whats up

Manutea · Apr 5, 2013

Hope thats better

On those pics, only Fogs, LEDs and Halo are on. Not the headlights

i honestly have no clue. hard to tell, probably just some cheap parts (telltale of eBay "projector" fogs).......
