so i was on my way in from class tonight and my HIDs i got a year ago from ddm for my head lights started to go out and come on then go out and come on continusely, when they went out id turn the headlight switch off and back on and nothin u just have to wait for them to come back on, has anybody had this problem with there HIDs and if so how did u fix it, or does anyone know what might be the problem??? all connects looked good, the problem started a week ago but tonight it was continuesly, any ideas?

 

Best way to fix it? Chitcan that crap (see my sig, lol).

Check the fuses/holder - some have found them to be loose. Also some reported issues with the relay - a DDM weak point on a non-bi system (you did not specify).

Contact DDM 'tech support' - good luck with that - should tell ya something right thar, So Solly, lol.

huh, you just love to bash people who buy HID's don't you? And that picture in your sig is very misleading, but whatever, you have your opinion. My HIDs don't produce that much glare at all, (compared to your pic), but it's easy to find some pic and make it look like anything you want, so again, its your opinion. I have never been as much as flashed, let alone **** someone off because of my lights. Nor do I get pissed off at others, I have better things to worry about.

But back to the OP-

I've had very good experience with DDM's tech support. Mine went out, I checked everything I could, contacted them and with in a couple days had my new control box in my hands. No cost to me. Pretty damn easy.

 

If you have bi-xenon, my guess is the relay box. Seems to go out a lot...

 

did u have to send ur old kit back to get a replacement one???

i did forget to mention that i do have the high/low beam kit, ima check all my connections one more time and if nothin im calling ddm, it does have a lifetime warrenty so i shouldent have to pay for anything anyways

 

No I did not have to send my kit back. But they did ask for pics to figure out what control box I had.

 

i was just looking at dmm http://www.ddmtuning.com/product.php?II=101
and was thinking about getting some for my 01. when you installed did you order the error eliminator ?

 

You shouldn't need one unless the newer trucks have bulb out warnings. Either way, it just seems to be a large capacitor.

 

i looked at it the problem i think is coming from where the factory wiring harness is conected to the hi/low beam harness, when i hit a bump or its moved it will flicker so im assuming theres a bad connection not sure if its from the factory harness or the hid hi/low beam harness, any suggestions???

 

If you have narrowed it down to a specific connection then you can probably isolate the problem. What electrical tools do you own? just a simple test light?
With a test light you can put the truck on low beams and test the low beam truck side harness for continuity. With your lights are on, connect the light to ground and probe the factory harness for + when on low. it should light up on only one of the three wires. One will be ground the other + low beam and the third + high beam.
When you get a glow from the test light on low, move your factory harness/lo-hi beam harness connection until your HIDs turn off. Then probe the factory harness for power, and the hi-low harness for power. If your HID harness is to blame you will get a glowing test light on the factory side and no light on the HID harness side.
I hope that helps a bit. Its very simple to do i am just horrible at explaining stuff in writing.

 

cool thanks i know what u ur talkin about my friend has one of those test lights, ill borrow it and see what happens, havent had the issue happen recently so far since i taped the wires and made the connection stiffer but ima try the test light see what happens
