BlackTopJourney13 Posted July 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Fog lights tinted. Lighter than I wanted when on, but still happy! dhh3 and Lawdog1911 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destination Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Did you get the the tint at Lamin-X? That's where I got mine, and mine are a little on the light side (when lit) too. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackTopJourney13 Posted July 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Bought mine from eBay. 12x24 sheet. Very easy to install once you take off the fog molding. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick26 Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Was the error eliminator actually necessary? Just curious, because I bought a DDM kit awhile ago and was finally planning on installing it, but didn't get anything extra. I'd like to know before I tear into it. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guls Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Yes, you will need error eliminator because of canbus system. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpnormand Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Was wondering so far have you experienced any problems with your HID's? I'm trying to find a website where I can purchase a very good set of HID's for my low beams, high beams and fog lights. Do you have any sites that you recommend? Thanks dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 I've bought every oine of myb HID kits off ebay from this seller: http://www.ebay.com/itm/xeno-HID-KIT-H1-H3-H6m-H4-H7-H8-H11-H9-H10-H13-9004-9005-9006-9007-D2S-D2R-6000K-/220472047437?pt=US_Car_Lighting&hash=item335528774d&vxp=mtr#ht_4807wt_1328 Only had one time a ballast was bad ouot of the box, but the seller shipped me a new one right away. I had these in my first Journey for 3 years with no trouble at all. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onecrazyfoo4u Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 DDM tuning is another good source for HID kits. Good quality for really cheap. Don't get HID's for your high beams, it'll be worthless. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if you already installed this, but I was not able to install these, they will blink and just go off. I ended up installing HIR bulbs. But they work great in my wife's Ford Edge. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef G Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Will HIDs still blink if you install it with a relay? Thank you dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobitz68 Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Will HIDs still blink if you install it with a relay? Thank you I think it depends on the kit. I did a full projector retrofit and used a capacitor to smooth out the PWM signal that causes the flickering. Some newer kits have this installed in the kit itself. I have seen a number of your Canadian counterparts speak of a place that sells kits that are plug and play and flicker-free without anything additional, but I don't recall the name. I'm sure you've heard this before, so I won't go on too long about it, but I would strongly advise you to look into a full retrofit rather than putting HID lights into your OEM housing. The light scatter is blinding to oncoming traffic and is dangerous (rant done). jkeaton and dhh3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carritt11 Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Will HIDs still blink if you install it with a relay? Thank you No, once the relay is installed they don't blink, power comes straight from the battery. If they continue to flicker then there's either a problem with the relay or the ballast. jkeaton and dhh3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they continue to flicker then there's either a problem with the relay or the ballast. Not entirely accurate... The PWM (pulse width modulation) signal can cause flickering even with a relay. The reason that they flicker is that the signal to close the relay isn't always 12v (to be specific, I think that most relays need a minimum of 9v to activate). PWM creates peaks and valleys in the voltage signal sent to the headlight harness; if that signal dips below the threshold of that particular relay it will open the relay and cause the light to shut off. Since this happens quickly it can cause flicker. That being said, I don't believe this is an issue with the DJ. Perhaps the PWM signal is tighter and never dips below that threshold?

carritt11 Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 I stand corrected, but in my experience with the mopars I've owned I have not gotten flickering from a properly functioning relay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef G Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Thank you for your inputs. Considering the cost, I am looking to installing HIR bulbs instead of HIDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you get authentic ones... They will be slightly more costly, but you will get what you pay for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
