I know about all the problems when installing HID's in a dodge ram I have read for hours on many fourms and cant find a answer. I have a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins. I installed aftermarket projector headlights which now require 2 H1 bulbs. So I ordered 2 H1 55w HID kits and a error eliminator plug and play for 9007 Bulbs (1 25w resistor per bulb). I hooked up the lights and the error eliminator cable I cut the female pigtail off the cable and connected it to my ballast with spades (That would be how I adapted from 9007 to 2 H1's). From the spades it goes to the bulbs I have no relay or harness for more power to them only what comes from the factory plug. When the truck is turned on they flicker then turn completely off. But when off they work perfect only if that was the opposite!!! Anyway I still have the lamp out light on and like I said the flicker and turn off even with the resistors. Do I need a relay harness for more power or should they be fine? Any help would be much appreciated Thanks!

I would use a relay harness and the resistors for the error eliminator

Im going to order 2 harness's and I guess ill see if I can get that to work. Theres going to be SO many wires lmao. I may just hook them up to my switch in truck till the harness comes in so I can drive my truck.

Flicker is caused by the pulsing the computer uses to detect a bulb out. The relay harness will fix that part. Resistors are needed so that the computer thinks the bulb is good. You need both for the HID work correctly.

What I did with mine (have dual H1's also). Was Bypass the headlights alltogether (F you dodge! lol) I relayed off my parking lights, so as soon as they come on they power up my low beams, then I ran a hot lead from my low beams to a floor switch to high beams. So I have both headlights on when on high. i tried Relay kit, Canbus HIDS's, resitors. EVERYTHING for my 06 and gave up, got tired of the BS. it is a stupid system. So I built my own. FYI floor switch is so nice for high beams!

Thanks guys what I ended up doing last night was running a power wire to both low beams then to a switch in the cab I'll do the same for high beams eventually. It's working perfect so far.
