Hi everybody! So I am having issues installing some HID headlights in my 2014 Ram with Quad beam headlights. I know our systems are a complicated canbus system, but I still cant seem to kick the problem I am having.
I purchased some CanBus style HID kits for my fogs, low beams, and high beams. At first everything was working perfectly! Tons of light and visibility. Then after about two weeks of use, my passenger side low beam quit working. Since the rest of the HIDs in installed work working just fine, I assumed it was the either the bulb, ballast, or canbus adapter. I tried to replace the individual components to try and isolate/fix the problem but nothing seemed to work. Just to be sure, I installed the factory halogen bulb and even that did not work!! So I assumed I had a bigger problem on my hands. I then uninstalled the HIDs on both my drivers side and passenger side and the passenger headlight started to work again! What the heck?!!
At this point I am quite confused by what is happening and need some advice. Below is a link for the exact system I ordered in 6000k. (Car Rover)

Maybe the technology in this kit just doesn't mix well with our systems? Does anybody else have this issue? Maybe there is a kit out there you have had better luck with? Its so hard to go back to halogen lights when you have become accustom to HIDs. Any advice would me much appreciated
Thank you in advance!
P.S. I know in most cases you get what you pay for, but I am a pretty budget minded guy and try to invest wisely. Hopefully there is an affordable option out there.
