Well I finally received my hid kit from DDM tuning, after over 3 weeks of waiting.

My fog lights look good but the driver side doesn't always fire up when turned on.

I also got the headlights with hi/lo but I can't get them to turn on. If I bypass the "control module" with a relay harness run direct to the ballast. I don't know what hell is problem.

I am never getting anything from DDM again I learned my lesson.

Now I will have to wait a month to get anything done for warranty.

I can't remember what I have to turn off so when I unlock and lock the truck my lights don't blink and wear out the ballasts?

Your perimeter lighting. The instructions to turn it off are in your owners manual

I wouldn't worry about it to much, fella.

I put my first HID kit in my first truck - 4 years ago. I have since transferred it to and from 3 vehicles since, and it now has a home in my dads car. Still going strong on all fronts, and no issues.

In fact, I even had the hedalight on one vehicle smashed while the HIDs were running, causing the plastic wall to contact and melt onto the bulb. I scraped it off with an Exacto till she was clean as new, and she still burns strong.

And parts are so cheap, you can replace a ballast or bulb for $10 should something go.

As far as kit quality goes - they're all pretty similar. I buy a brand called 'Silver Eagle' and it has lasted me years.

You want a 9007 HID HI/LOW kit. Ensure it has the motorized bulbs for the full conversion.
