Feniuk Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Low beam is 9006 and high is 9005 . Thank you. Where is the best place to put the ground wires/rings do you figure? I just ordered a kit from DDM tuning. Can't wait for it to come in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkpaw Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Thank you. Where is the best place to put the ground wires/rings do you figure? I just ordered a kit from DDM tuning. Can't wait for it to come in! I hope you're only putting it on the low beams. DRLs (since you're in Canada) run off the high beams at 50% intensity, and you'll be in for a ton of issues if you try putting HIDs on high beams (even without DRLs, for that matter).

Yeah just doing the lows. I don't do a whole lot of highway driving, figured for my highs I could just get away with getting regular bulbs that are maybe a bit more white than the usual ugly yellow that comes with.

Lobitz68 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Thank you. Where is the best place to put the ground wires/rings do you figure? I just ordered a kit from DDM tuning. Can't wait for it to come in! Anywhere with bare metal. I usually sand off paint in a small area and use self tapping screws. That way I can install them wherever it makes sense to do so... If you do that, make sure to rub dielectric grease on it after they are tightened to avoid rusting and connection issues... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cobalt had great spots to put them and I have yet to pop the hood on the journey to get a good look at where everything is under there. I didn't always use that dielectric grease until someone a few years ago recommended usin it on those and in the connectors/plugs of the hid kit itself. Made a good difference.

Any chance you want to post some output shots from inside the cabin? Maybe against a wall to see the "cutoff"? Looks good and the fogs match very well.

Don't really want to mess around with wiring and conversions...I also need something that will withstand teh Canadian Winter and come on exactly when I turn it on. Note: The CVP DJ does not have Fog lights Suggestions please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onecrazyfoo4u Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 i will do that later, i used putco led bulbs as below Where did you order them and for how much? The putco website doesn't sell them. 30W for the fog lights is super impressive. I was going to order 5W ones cause that was the best I could find.

journeyfamily Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 i got them from my supplier, putco do not list them as a part for the journey if you do a search, but they do make them, i will get the part number for you when i go to work tomorrow.

Powerz69 Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Just the fogs and park lights on. I never measured the height of the fogs yet but I do think I have to raise them up a bit. Totemus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDot Drake Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 I can not get the relay to stop buzzing on my Journey. Theres no problem with flickering or anything since I've added the capacitors. I have slim hid ballasts. A Relay. 2 plug and play capacitors. Ive read that I should only need one of the capacitors, but when i only have the one connected my lights wont come on with the car running. I have the relay hooked up to the fuse box instead of straight to the battery. Could that be causing the issue? The relay is controlled by drivers side headlight plug and connected to the fuse box for power (not directly to the battery). The Capacitors are plugged between the relay and the headlight. I just dont use my headlights because I dont want to blow the capacitor or the fuse until I figure out the problem. My fog lights are HID as well and they work fine.

Powerz69 Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Make sure your wires match up. Remove the caps and plug the factory headlight plug into the relay harness, black to black or red to red I cannot remember. See if the relays stop buzzing. Install the cap again make sure the wires match up again if you can see them. You should really have the relay harness hooked up to the battery with an inline fuse. Does everything work with the DJ not running? If so double check the wires before the relay harness making sure they match up. 11journeybama 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
