headlight issue!!

well guys i went and got an HID light kit after talking with the company about the known issues that the can bus systems can have and they told me that they wouldn't be an issue with their kits i figured i would give it a shot, so heres my issue, low beams keep turning on for a sec and then off for a sec and they just keep doing it, but heres the kicker the high beams work just fine and have no issues. please help guys i have been trying to do some research and google searching but haven't found anything. thanks for any help

What type of kit did you get? Bi-xenons or HID low with Halogen high beams?

'03-05 trucks need load resistors for both driver and passenger side headlights. Total of four (low beam and high beam each side) if running Bi-xenons.

It is because the truck doesn't apply constant power for the stock application. It works fine for the stock lights, but HIDs need the constant power.

Contact http://www.retro-solutions.com/ and let them know your problem. They make a kit that will work wonders.

Strobe lights are a good thing. At night it will look like you're the only one moving.
