Hello....So what is the alternative then i.e. the "something else" mentione din your post? I concur with the HID concerns...you don't want all that to happen when you are in dire need of lights being on pronto
For my Hi Beams im using Sylivania Silverstar Bright white bulbs. They look like HID lights but there not. Im also gonna change my bottom fog lights to the same Silverstar Bright White so they will look the same as my HID lights.

Still no flickering issues? I have a projector retrofit kit that I bought for my 2012 Avenger. Now that I gave that to the wife and bought this I'm thinking about putting it on the DJ. It's hard to find any consistent information on HID conversion on this site, but historically Dodge's newer vehicles are a pain in the ass to install these on because on the fluctuating voltage sent to the light to run "self check"... Are DJ's using this same "technology"? The kit I have put together has a capacitor on the relay to help regulate voltage and I have resistors I can install... Is this what everyone is using here? I'd like to get working on it soon now that spring is getting closer...
Nope still no flickering. I used the Kit which had the Bulbs and Ballasts. I also had to purchase the Resistors and Harness.

I did my HID Conversion today and it worked out great, no flickering and no issues. This is the kit that I used. They are a really good quality brand and cost more than most.

Trust me, there not available ANYWHERE, Ive looked. I had my grill painted black and this week im sending out a new set of lights to get the inside painted to look like the Blacktop lights. Here's the website of the place thats gonna do mine for me. They charge $325.00 plus shipping.
Ill post pictures when its all done.

I changed out my head lights to an HID Conversion and it came out fantastic. Cant wait to see how it looks when its dark outside. More mods coming by the end of March or April sometime. I cant stop its addicting.

Welcome, I would love to see some pictures once you get everything done to it.

Here is a previous discussion on this same topic.

Does any one know if there a kit to do all the interior lights? If so where can I get it?
There is no kit. You will need to purchase all of them seperate. I see that you have a 2010. Mine is 2010 also. I tried the regular LED's at first and they didnt work. I then tried the Cambus version and they worked great.

I believe Dodge warranty is 100K on the drivetrain not 36K.

Check out the link bellow. I have them in my Journey and I love them. Fantastic quality and great fit. Less expensive than Weather Tech.

Here is my conversation about them here in the forum.

It sounds to me like one of your Valves or Lifters are going bad. If thats the case then your check engine light will eventually come on unless it has already came on. I would take it to your dealer. If you havent gone over 100K miles it might be covered under warranty. If you continue to drive it like that you will end up stranded on the side of the road. I hope im wrong and its just a minor problem for you. Good Luck

Where did you find your magna flo?
I use a local exhaust place that has done systems for all the vehicles I've had. I'm sure a local exhaust company in your area has them. I also like the FloMaster but they are louder sounding.

I have the same Blizzak Tires and they are FANTASTIC! I just hate driving on them when there isnt snow on the road cause I know im wearing them out. Im for sure gonna change them out when the weather starts getting much warmer.

Hello Chris and welcome, Im just like you and I hate leaving my vehicles stock as well. Ive already done lots to my Journey and Im still doing more to it. Here is a link to what Ive done so far. In the Very near future Im gonna be doing something else and Ill be posting it here. I would love to see pictures of your progress.

Hello and Welcome Regina.
-
If it happens frequently enough and if your able to take it to the dealer, show them and see what they will do about it. If your Journey was new when you bought it in October then it should be under warranty.

yeah im not to sure. i do know the connector is different and theres been a few "rumors" of the led style ones not fitting on the regular bulb ones but from looking at them (without taking it off and test fitting) they look almost identical in shape so i dont see why they wouldnt fit. back to the wiring. like i said the connector is a bit different but i figure if they are similar i could just splice off the old bulb style connector and wire on the new style connector if the cables are the same. but i would have to see the connecting cables from a led style tail light assembly to be sure.
Yes they look the same to me also as far as fit. Splicing the LED connector would be easy to do as long as the wiring is the same.

I think your wanting to do what I want to do also. I have a 2010 Journey with the regular bulb lights and I want to change the whole rear lights to the round LED style. I think the wiring harness is gonna be different and the voltage to the lights might be different as well but im not positive about this. Im gonna follow this discussion cause if it can be done with out changing anything major then I want to do it too.

Welcome, I think I know what you mean. I thought they felt a little different/odd/flat in the beginning but now that Ive had it for a while I think it feels fine.

If there is a capacitor then its built into the relay harness cause I didnt see one. Yes I have resistors on both sides.
