Hid problems when cold

[Undecided]

Shortly after buying my 2013 ram I put a plug and play HID kit in the low beams because I wasn't satisfied with the factory headlights. They have worked great up until the last few days. Yesterday i couldnt get either headlight to come on in the morning. Today i could only get the passenger side light on.

Could tempature cause problems with theses? Its been around 0 Celcius here.

All the connections look good. Any help would be great!

The person to ask about this would be JJ from Retro Shop. He's a site preferred vendor. Look for the advertisement link on the far right side of your screen.

Sometimes they do have problems firing up i cold weather.

You switch the ballast from the other side to see if you might have a bad one?

morimoto's from jj at retroshop, -40c and fire right up everytime, I think twice one side didn't fire once, cycled off then back on and all good, ive heard of cheap ones having trouble firing in the cold but never experienced it

We had some issues last year on some, but that has been long since addressed. Solid now, and have been for a great time. What brand are you rockin' bud?

Get some JJ's the eBay ones just don't work well in the cold IMO. I had them and have been gun shy ever since because I had same issue and then was worried about getting pulled over.

I haven't had a chance yet to switch the ballasts side to side. Hopefully have a chance tonight to try that. Not sure on brand. think they might be Eurovisions Receipt is in the truck. I bought them From my local pic and pulls new performance shop.

Switched out the balalsts last night with another set from the store. There was no difference in the morning. Guess i can just keep switching parts side to side until i find the problem? At least until i can get a kit from Retro shop

Maybe try ordering just the canbus adapters for now since your just plug and play, our electronics make hid's tricky
