Last week I bought a HID kit; couldn't justify the full projector upgrade at this time. Saturday I popped the hood to plan my installation and can't figure out which is the least evil of the few mounting options I see available. I like the idea in Me78569's article to mount the brain on the passenger side, but still could use some advice on where to mount everything. I do not wish to reinvent a wheel and learn lessons the hard way if I can learn from someone else's experience! Could one of you with such a system take some photos of how you mounted the brain box, ballasts, etc. and post them here? Or send a link to a previous thread. I did a search but may have missed something. Many thanks!

Mike, where did you mount all the wiring doo-dads?

I have a 1999 ram 2500 sport that previous owner put some crap aftermarket led headlights on. I ordered oem 4 bulb (2 each side) headlights and repaired patched in wiring. Once installed the inner bulb on each headlight works as both hi and low. The flashers and running lights work. The outer headlight bulb on each side will not light hi or low. On my way to get my multimeter now. Do the outer two bulbs light on hi only or low and high? Are they a separate fuse? I don't see any cuts like the mains had. P.s. this is a true sport with 2 headlight cables per side not a conversion. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I know I know, I have alot of posts on different subjects but I want to get everything lined out of this truck. I still haven't messed with the oil pan gasket and I need a front timing cover and tappet cover gasket aswell. I am curious of how to wire up a relay for the headlights on my 1998 dodge. Its not a sport model it originally had the 9004 lights in it but recently got some aftermarket cleared lens with projector. It has a dual beam setup but still uses the 9004 plug. Works great! I am gunna do the high low mod and have both on at once by using the wire splice under the steering wheel and want to take load of switch aswell so I want to add a relay to driver and passenger side. How do I go about doing this.

So, I decided to build a relay harness for my headlights. I've heard people have had good luck with getting more light output so i decided to give it a go. With the harness installed, only the driver headlight works. It looks much brighter, but one light wont cut it! LOL. High and low beam have the same result. The high beam indicator is on with the high beams but goes off with the lows, like its supposed to. I used the Low+ and Common from one side on the relay for the low beams, then I used the High+ and Common from the other side to trigger the Highbeam relay. The reason I used the common from the OEM harness is these headlighs are 99% of the time ground switched/triggered systems. Anyone have any thoughts as to why I only have one light lit? Relays are confirmed working, Wiring is soldered with verified continuity. Thanks, Travis

Hey all Just used a 3M lens restoration kit for by rear cabin light as well as my front two headlights. Normal yellow fade etc from sun and time. The results were amazing - I would say honestly a 90+% improvement. Takes 3 or 4 takes of using various grit sandpaper followed by rubbing compound at end - but really effective. Will post picks in the morning. http://www.amazon.com/3M-Headlight-Lens-Restoration-System/dp/B001AIZ5HY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=automotive&qid=1283740197&sr=8-1 Good stuff !!
