Ya i ordered mine from xenongate and them make a nice kit, but since dodge uses that stupid "Lamp Out" thing, i had to use resistors to make it go away.

I used a 8 ohm 20 watt resistor ran from both my low beam headlight wire to a ground, it fools the computer so you wount get a lamp out signal!

Well I disconnected the driver side relay and tried to get the lights to come on without the relay, and the driver side would not come on at all. I the tried to wire the resistor in and still would not come on. I cannot figure this out for the life of me. Getting a little frustrated here. The fog light HID's work fine everytime.
