DDM canbus HID low / Philips 9011 highs / Morimoto vertical LED /

Looks great! I already have the morimoto fogs installed. How was the install with the DDM kit?

Everything will fit in the factory housing, no drilling holes needed

Are you running quads or projectors?

Projectors, it took me a good hour to figure the first one out, then it was easy

Good job!

I wasn’t that brave lol

I was worried I’d snap a factory wire inside there..

How long have they been installed? I thought the igniter had to be mounted to metal or would get too hot. Do the housings get warm? Thanks

Shouldn't the ballast be placed outside the housing? Do you run the risk of overheating with them crammed inside?

They have been installed for over a year, not once have I ever had a problem and I'm not easy only truck.

The kit from Amazon did you order the 9006 bulbs for the highs?

No, I upgraded the high beam to a 9011.

Was able to get everything crammed in the headlight housing like the pic posted above. Tested them and they fired no problem. Can't wait to go for a night drive and see the improvement!
Stock halogen:

Driver side HID installed:

Both HID installed:

Just installed mine too! Haven’t driven yet. Color is way better than stock. I believe they’re brighter but I haven’t driven yet.

Took the suggestion about clocking the bulb so the wire was facing down. [emoji106] funny though, I feel like the driver side is just a tad dimmer than passenger. Maybe it’s just me...

Oh, and I didn’t cram everything into the housing. Seems so tight in there! I zip tied the ballast to a part of the frame. Didn’t drill. Instead, had wires stick out the bottom. Worked really well.

I couldn't figure out how to clock the bulb at all. The bulb itself only fit in the housing one way, and when I tried to turn the black plastic mounting housing in the headlight by unscrewing the torx screws, all three didn't line back up after turning. Two would screw in, and the third was off by about a quarter or half inch. The bulb wouldn't even fit with that alignment.

Light output seems fine though, but I want to see what it looks like on the road as well...

Oh **** sorry I meant the low beam. Which bulb did you go with for the ddm kit on Amazon?

At first, I did what you did. Completely unscrewed and turned the mount 1/3 around. That’s not the way. Instead, you simply back out the screws maybe halfway. Then tug on the black mount to give a little wiggle room for the bulb. The bulb can then be clocked past the fixed stops. Once bulb is clocked so that the wire faces down, you tighten the screws back down which cinches the bulb tight.

For you, If you can’t see a black line in the light, I wouldn’t worry about it. Doesn’t appear visible in your images.

This is exactly how it’s done.

Wow and you guys are not getting no error codes or anything ? I’m wanting to try and tuck everything inside headlight but I’m a little nervous.

No error codes here.

So the 9005 will fit with no issues even though it calls for a 9012

My 2016 RAM with projectors call for 9005 low and high beams.
