100MEDIAIMAG0129.jpg


I am having all sorts of problems from my ballasts shorting due to water... all the way up to bulbs blowing and every thing in between.

any one use a kit such as xentec ? if so any problems and if so are you running it on auto or are you manually turning your lights off and on ?

Is this a quad setup? If so, I can get you a WORKING harness for this thing for under $30 shipped.

Here's what you need!

Posting this up - as all can use this knowledge. :D:D

Harness link - HID relay wiring harness - Retro-Solutions Store

For for your quads, select the "09+ Dodge Ram H11 Quad Lamp"

Also, 10% off if you use the coupon code "JJ".

When the harness comes in, you will want to use dielectric grease on all of the connections, EXCEPT the bulb to ballast connection. All others, put some in there. It will keep the water out, and keep corrosion out.

Just one per kit.

Do you have 2 HID kits? If so, you'll need 2. BUT, by default it is set as the H11 setup. I can order it direct and shoot you an invoice - as there is no option to buy the harness with the 9005 plug on the website.

Oh on a good note if you do the fog they are just plug and play lol ask me just do fogs and lows and youll never need high beams again. But welcome to the world of ram trucks where plug and play hid's headlights are not an option :p
