Looks badass

Did you check the radio to see if you have a selection to turn the DRLs off and on?
Yep it's on there. That is really nice to have

Another feature you can enable is the VTA (vehicle theft alarm)

VTA was enabled after I changed: VTA Hood Ajar Monitoring: Not set

VTA Hood Ajar Monitoring: Set

With this feature set, if anyone opens your hood or door the alarm will go off and if you subscribe to uconnect it'll send you an email saying the alarm went off.

You can test it by sitting in the truck, set the alarm with the fob, then open the door and it will start honking the horn

Ok np.

If I understand this correctly you're adding repeaters? Basically so the mirror LED's mimic the turn signal DRL's?
Looks like it, the only part I'm not crazy about is cutting the wire in the door.

I should if I have the factory remote start. I'm gonna play with it more today on my lunch break. That being said HIDs and morimoto Fogs are running great without the resistors

Question. Is the Anti Flicker Module required for the 2.0 LED Bulbs for the High beams

The ballast and igniter looks like it just makes a closed loop with the Pigtails from the HID Bulb. Along with the LED High Beam that will be a huge difference.

You should not have to replace the complete harness. Just pick up a replacement relay. I have the Morimoto HID kit in my truck and it has worked perfect for over two years now. Did you check the anti-flicker cap that is inline with the stock plug that plugs into the HID light harness?

But of your truck keeps giving you issues I would think about getting rid of the Morimoto kit and install a GTR lighting gen-5 HID system. This is a true plug and play kit that does not use resistors or a relay harness. I installed one in my wife's Jeep Cherokee and it took less than 30 minutes, and it works great https://headlightrevolution.com/200...adlights-upgrade-low-beam-hid-conversion-kit/
