I have a 2009 Ram 1500 Laramie that I have upgraded with the 2013 Projector headlights and an HID kit. I installed it about 4 months ago and it has worked fine until last night. I turned on the Ram and no headlights. No error messages on the dash. No lights out of either headlight. Parking lights and everything else is fine, it is only the HIDs that are affected. I checked the fuse in the relay harness and it was fine. What else could be affecting both of the headlights? Could something be wrong with the relay? I'm not sure what else to check for or how, any ideas?

Check grounds for sure as they could have corroded over time.

Also check the adapter on the lights (assuming you've got my stuff?) make sure no corrosion there, pin didn't push back out of the socket, etc. Email me if you have any questions! [email protected]

Ok I figured it out. The pins were pulling out of the connectors on the harness in several different places. I cut out the connectors and soldered the wires together, so no more problems in the future. Thanks guys.
