I’ll get a screenshot of the settings in the morning. I did try the flipping the power connector to see if the polarity was an issue, it didn’t work either way.

It seems the HIDs aren’t getting power at all, the ballasts don’t even warm up.
I did try flipping it with no luck. I’ll hit you guys up if this one doesn’t work… that will be 3 kits so far that have failed on this truck haha.
Those canbus decoders do not use. They are notorious for exploding and melting. Those were used when Hids first came out. You have to may parts to try to make the canbus system work. You will also want tot put the oem bulbs back in for a couple days to reset the computer.
I recall the capacitors blowing back in the early 2000s and folks going back and forth being DDM and Umnitza kits. If I recall that was an issue with some vehicles having reverse polarity and the capacitors blowing within the first minute of being on.
I tried 2 other kits with discrete ballasts and igniters, I even swapped their ballasts as well… neither worked. Every single configuration i tried would never light up.
Are you using a relay kit or wiring straight from the stock harness on each side?
Do you have AlfaOBD and set the front lights to HID?Straight from the stock harness. I tried the relay harness that came with my Morimoto kit but that never worked with any of the ballasts/igniters/bulbs I have tried.
This 35w DDM Tuning kit with 9-16v capacitors is the only setup that has actually worked on this truck.

Yup, vehicle config 3 high intensity discharge or whatever it was called is set.
The DDM kit works, so HID for me. In fact, I’ve used DDM HIDs in all of my bikes, trucks, and cars since 2008 when DDM was new and Jim was still posting on bimmerforums about their kits and E36 projectors.
