low beams dont work

[henrod]

i have a 06 ram 1500 st, and i got in it to turn on the headlights and leave and they flashed and went off, i have no clue what it is. I also have h.i.d.s and im not getting any power to the lowbeams, is there a fuse cause i didnt see one, thanks in advance for any help

Yes look in the fuse box under the hood left front on my truck.

 

[AF_Hemi]

yeah if they came on then flashed off its probably a fuse.

What kind of HIDs do you have, and what type of harness are they hooked up with?

The hids came from mydepots.com and are abouy 3 years old. They are also hi/lo hid not hid low and halogen. And what kind of harness are you talking about?

I'd replace the entire setup. 3 years old.......much better technology has come out since then.

How are they wired up? Relay harness?

Well, if the harness looks like this:

There should be a fuse pretty close to the battery.

Thats a bixenon harness - but same basic idea. Do you have any pics of the setup?

I just ordered a headlight switch cause I'm not getting power to the lowbeams and I put the halogen bulbs I had in and still the same result.

Yea that looks exactly like my harness, but I found there is no power at the factory connector, if the switch fixes it I'm gonna order another kit next paycheck

Let me know before you order........might be able to suggest a nice brand that will work for you.

I wouldn't make anything on it. Now....if he wanted a full blown retro - sure. I was just going to recommend a harness that would eliminate that mess pictured above.

Ok man good deal, I'm running the ddmtuning kit on my mustang right now and I like it so far

 

[0212353]

Yeah, I'm not sure if the 'stangs have the crazy wiring fun that we have on the Rams - on most cars its a simple plug n play..........Rams......not so much.

 

[henrod]

Yea everything on the stang is simple, I noticed how screwed up the dodge system is when I first installed them on it. It took me three days to figure out why it was doing the flash of death, I found it out on some dodge forum. Do the 55 watt kits take care of that problem or do you have to add resistance still?

 

[0212353]

55w don't change a thing, you are still dealing with Dodge's computers........

 

[henrod]

that sucks why does dodge have to be so unique lol

 

[0212353]

the best comes at a price.

 

[henrod]

yep as far as trucks go dodge is the way to go
