I purchased my GC two days ago and did the 9006 HID headlight and the H-10 fog light conversion yesterday. They worked fine after the initial install test. After driving home last night one h/l quit working and then 10 minutes later, the other h/l quit working. I tested everything I know of including voltage to the ballasts and the ground connection, but they do not work for more than 10-20 minutes before going out. On the test bench, they work fine.:confused:

It was suggested by the supplier that a lot of Chrysler vehicles (Mercedes too) have a fluctuating voltage supply. Supposedly the fix for this is reinstall the HID kit, then take the GC to the dealer and tell them I installed HID's on the vehicle and then they can "scan" the module that controls the lights and re-program that module for HID's.

Anyone else have this problem/heard of this???:confused:

A little background info.....I own a car stereo shop and have done many HID conversions with no issues......even on my SRT-10 that I recently sold.:eek:

TIA for any help in this matter. :)

Do you have a relay kit hooked up?

CAR AUDIO shop owner, cool deal, I was a MECP First class installer for 8yrs I am a bit rusty but still know some stuff.

Add a relay and just use the headlight plugs as the turn on. If this does not solve the problem it is possible that you have a bad control module. This happen to me. I tested everything and no power to the pass headlight, no fuse blowen, nothing. End up being the module fried the pass side, after trying to hook up the HID's w/o the relay. GOOD LUCK

Thanks for the info....I also work at a chemical plant.....So...I'll try that when I get back to my shop this evening.

I never got a chance to do the MECP.....I was too busy with college....;)

Thanks again.

If I can help you in any way, please PM me......:cool:

This goes for any other member here.

My HIDs worked when I first installed them, but flickered like crazy when the truck was running. Not sure if your problems were like mine at all. This set did not include a relay, so I built a harness with a 30 amp relay, fused. That took care of everything.

My kit is a 4800K D4R.

Mine work fine with a relay I first had 4300k now I have the 6000k they work fine

Guys, thanks for the responses. I'm happy to say that after building a 30-amp relay for each side, my 8000K's are the $hit!!!!! Working fine.....(right now)!!!! :o I'll update after a night of the "real world test".:D

UPDATE

The relay fix worked.....

The GC is rolling with it's bright whites gleaming!!!


Of course, after having them on my SRT-10, the 8000K HID heads and fogs were a priority the day I picked it up.....:D
