Default HID's issue (newbie)

Howzit everyone , I recently purchased a 2015 F150 xlt 3.5 eco 4x4 crewcab , my issue I'm having is I just installed HID headlights to my truck and it works when the truck is off , but as soon as you start her up the HID's turn off . I tried to turn them on when truck is running and it flickers for like a second and doesn't come on . I also installed the error decoder . Please help need my lights . Thank you ahead of time .

did you run a separate harness with a relay and fuse coming straight off the batt or did you just plug directly into the oem harness?

ahhh another cheap HID's in reflector housing person.

Sorry, you buy chinglish HID's and throw them in the stock housings, you BLIND everyone on the road while giving you LESS usable light than the factory halogen bulbs.

Pull those out and either retrofit your current headlights with projectors, purchase and install OEM HID housings, or leave the halogens in.

Doing anything else is a disrespect to everyone else on the road.

I'm actually being dead serious. If someone goes around worrying about others on the road then nobody would do half the **** to their trucks on here. Putting brighter headlights in the truck is no different then the guys with lifted trucks driving behind someone at night with their stock bulbs. Ever been in that car in front of a lifted truck? It's worse then driving towards someone with brighter headlights. So damn if you do and damn if you don't. It's just a matter of which team your playing on. The truck team or the car team
