The TYC (or OEM) projectors take this kit here - https://shop.retroshop.us/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=4G.13.HIDs

Couple things to keep in mind:
- 35W is plenty
- Most go 5K
- Canbus vs Full harness Both work great, your call on how much you'd like to wire in.

Now.....for YOUR specific truck, you have duals on yours. IF you want the projector in the new 13s to act as both the low and high beam (where the projector cutoff lowers and you have the high beam halogen bulb on at the same time) you will have to select the Mopar specific harness on the HIDs, and then you need this diode - https://shop.retroshop.us/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=Diode

Again, that is on YOUR truck, as you have the duals on there now. This doesn't apply to all trucks (or people reading this post).

Thanks for the info. Is there a different way of hooking up Canbus vs Full Harness?

Also for the bulb i am choosing HIR2/9012 Correct?

Here's the pics of the wiring differences

Full harness:

Canbus adapters:

yours will need the full harness if you want the full use of your highs (and the diode)

And.....yup, 9012 bulbs (HIR2)

I think the canbus will be fine. So your saying I would only need the full harness and the diode if I want my highs and lows on at the same time correct?

If i am right then i don't need the highs and lows on at the same time so the canbus will work.

Thanks for your help.

So tyc headlights are mounted and installed just wanting on HID from JJ. Question now is my passenger headlight turn signal doesn't work. It lights up but doesn't blink when signal is on. I'm assuming bad bulb?

Check and make sure that all the wires in the harness are properly seated. There is no way that bulb is bad.

Correct. Check the pins, make sure everything is good to go, should be set!

Finally got time to work on the darkknight on Sunday. Rechecked connections while installing JJ HID Kit and it works. Just need to align the headlights as they are off. I know the vertical alignment is in the fender but what about horizontal? I can finally drive without my foglights now. These lights are awesome!
