I’m having trouble with my 2016 ram 1500 fog lights, I installed an led kit and now they’re not working, do you guys know if the dealer would enable “High Intensity Discharge Lights” from the body controller and fix this?

I don't think the dealer can activate that. You'd either have to get canbus adapter (cheapest option) or use alphaobd ($50 off of the Google play store) obdlink mx (~$60) and a android or windows device

Running LED's you would not want to enable the HID lighting option. The AlfaOBD is the way to go. Initial cost is a little higher but if you plan on doing other lights in the future or several other mods it is well worth the money.

Heise has a harness that's plug in play, goes in between the factory plug and the plug to the LED light. Mines worked flawless.
