Hi JJ,
I just bought the projector headlights for this for sale thread:
http://www.ramforum.com/f21/fs_md_4th_gen_dual_projector_headlights-50444/
and I am wondering if you can help me with everything that I would need to get them running in my 2011 Ram.

I've never had a set of those in my hands, so I need a little info.

If I'm right in what the wiring is on those it has a H13 plug that then splits inside to trigger the solenoid on the projector, and the other end connects to a standard plug to a HID harness?

If so, you have 2 options:
Canbus adapaters - https://shop.retroshop.us/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=CB.Adapter
H11 Mopar Harness - https://shop.retroshop.us/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=Mop.Harn

Whats the difference? The adapters just plug in, click click done. The full harness is connected to the battery, has grounds for each ballast, etc. Both work great, just depends on your preference on what you nab there.

Ballasts:
35W - https://shop.retroshop.us/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=3Five
50W - https://shop.retroshop.us/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=5Five

Ok Seller should be shipping them out today and its honestly my first time with HID's so I am like you I will need to have them in hand before I know much more.
Now whats the difference between 35w and 55w output. What I do know is I want a white light so staying around 5k color and I would like to be able to drive around without the fogs on at night lol. I will have to take a look at the harnesses over lunch as for some reason I can't see your site on my work PC.
Thanks so far and I am sure I will be picking your brain some more down the road.

when you get 'em in, shoot me a pic of the wiring (email is best!)

35 vs 50 - 50s are 20% more output. 5K / 50w combo is killer, its what I run on. I don't use my fogs......

Etroze86 · Jun 30, 2014

Absolutely and that's what I'm looking for just bright so I can see the ditches around here.

yes its the ring and ditches are a bad thing to drive in

Etroze86 · Jun 30, 2014

So why is it bad to have the halo in there? and yeah its not the ditches themselves its the deer that wander out that I get worried about lol.

oh no not bad to have the halo was just saying was curious if he switched out the projector why he left the original halo in there had those in my spyder not very bright but the hid's will make up for that

you every try those deer whistles you mount on your front end i had them in jersey seemed to work good

Etroze86 · Jun 30, 2014

Oh gotcha yeah I just got done reading one of your threads on them and we will see what they look like I guess. If I don't like them hey I have the stockers I can pull apart and paint also.
Yeah tried the deer whistles back when I was in highschool and deer around here just look at you like you are crazy trying to scare them off lol.

blackout11 · Jun 30, 2014

Etroze86 · Jun 30, 2014

Honestly they do stay away much more after I did my exhaust. Man the wolf's pee might work lol.

Casper · Jun 30, 2014

Can you get the smell of burned black powder in a can? That'll settle your buck problem. Course, it can't replace the real thing: see deer, POW!, shoot deer.

Dead Bambi's don't wreck trucks. :crazy:

Yeah they kinda do with their ears. The really creepy thing is when you come up on them in a field and there are 50 of them staring at you.
