I just bought some OPT7 HID lights for my 06 ram 1500 and i'm having problems. I have used these before in other vehicles, but when I hooked up my new set in my truck nothing works, I've tried using a completely different harness and ballasts and lights and still nothing. Is there anything that I need to do different for dodge vehicles?

Yeah. There are some funky things that happen when you add HID's to these trucks. I have a retroshop kit with his wiring and resistors. Everything just worked. My neighbor also has his kit, and I helped install that last week on his '06.

We both have projector housings... I feel we should spend the money, and do it right. I have adaptive projectors on my Audi, so I had to get proper HIDs on the truck.
