I am going to be installing hids soon in my headlights and was wondering if I'm going to have the flickering issue as the newer rams are having with the flickering? I have them installed in my fogs and have had no issues. Just wondering before I buy. Thanks for the help

I have an '03 with retrofit projectors, I have resistors and needed them. I think there is a cutoff mid year '02, so maybe people aren't sure. I would say it is safe to assume you will have it, and if you don't you can return parts.

Your truck doesn't have the canbus system in it so you shouldn't need the canbus harness. Probably just a regular battery relay harness will be fine. Canbus didn't start until 06

It didn't need the canbus system stuff, but mine needed the resistors for bulb out warnings. My truck does bulb out warnings for all bulbs.
