I'm about to do this install tomorrow. If you want text me and I'll show you what you need. Also there's no way around modifying the dust covers

I wondered the same thing but in my case the answer was no. I ended up putting the upgrade on hold until the weather got warmer. Save yourself the trouble and time, do what steps are recommended. I will be doing my upgrade the next full weekend my wife has off just in case I'm unsuccessful completing everything in one day, her car will be available.

 

You'll have to modify the dust covers.... I suggest Morimoto stuff from The retrofit source. Little pricey but it will work perfectly with your truck

How would I go about modifying the dust cover to fit the hid kit? Am I drilling a hole to fit the wires through? Any guidance is appreciated! Also I was looking at the morimoto kit since its high quality. Finally, would anyone know the part number for the dust covers? I want to purchase a second pair since my car is a lease and when I give it back I'll be restoring the factory headlights and covers. I can't find a part number anywhere online.

 

Ok so I just attempted to install a plug and play HiD kit in my 2016 DD and was UN-successful. No mater which way installed the plugs. I thought maybe it was the bulbs but I even tried the spare set of bulbs i bought and no good. I'm gonna try the install again tomorrow with the relay harness and let you guys know how it goes.

So apparently I need a HI/LOW kit. Same price as the regular kits. I'm pretty sure this is my issue. Guess I'll have to wait a week to find out.

On 2014+ models there is no high and low. The bulb has one single output, it uses a shield to "switch" between high and low. Shield up is low beam, shield down is high beam.... What kit did you buy?

Here's the morimoto... Caskey has the opt7 kit. If you do a search for him I'm sure you can find what he's using

I installed this kit on my 2015 this past summer and zero issues at all. Took a little time to install but worth the extra money over the crappy kit I installed on my Altima fog lights.

 

Denso ballast is good, OEM grade, I'd go for the amp kit with the morimoto 5500k bulbs

Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

 

I was thinking of going with 4500k because I like the look of OEM HID better with a 55w ballast. Also I found replacement dust covers for the headlights on the mopar website but it wasn't easy. Had to do a lot of digging and they want $20 a piece!!!!

 

Here's the pics

Did you connect ur negative leads to bolt indicated to the left of the fuse box? also I cant see exactly where your your poistive lead went. Thank you for the pics tho! I'm going to be using resistors as well and they need to be attached to metal as they get hot. So much wiring and harness to mount and place properly lol

 

Yes the ground is under that stud which is the ground point for a jump. It unscrews easily. The positive is just to the right of the ground under the fuse cover also attached to the positive terminal. I wouldn't recommend the resistors tho I heard horror stories. The kit I bought uses the capacitors in place of resistors and they work great. I would recommend the full opt-7 as it has everything u need for the install for under $100.

Hey so I'm probably returning the morimoto kit as I do not want to use a component that may or may not blow up on me. Can you send me the link of the exact kit you bought. Also do u actually have to plug in the fuse holder that is connected to the relAy? And is there an install diagram you used to install this?

Those wires are extension wires. You usually won't use them, however I needed one to extend the wire to the driver side. Those extra hole on the rubber grommet are for halos if you choose to do that later on.

You also have to drill a hole in the dust cover to set that rubber grommet correctly.

So which plug goes into the factory plug then? how are these things going to work without it being hooked up in one place to the factory wiring?

 

Shit your right I'm sorry. I was thinking about my charger lol. So, you will need to run the factory wire through the grommet. Plug the factory wire into the extension wire, then Using a very small eyeglasses flat head screw driver from the bottom of the ballast side slip the screwdriver in and slowly pull the wires out. Feed those through the rubber grommet and then connect the wires back into the clip you will here a click when there secure. Just make sure you don't switch up the wires.

I ended up using my old morimoto kit after all except I didn't use resistors as like you said they can be unsafe. I am using only one capacitor and the hd relay. I'm as happy as can be and the 55w ballasts make the 5000k bright as can be lol thanks for the help

Here's a before (left) and after (right) opt-7 canbus kit

Those are sick man! Mine are a little different but that's only because I'm using the 55w ballast instead of a 35w. To get that blue tint I would need to use 6500k or more bulbs. However, my ballasts r kinda loud like u can hear them when the lights are on and the car is off. Not enough to make me worry but something I thought was odd


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

 

You need the opt7 capacitors they connect in between the ballast and the bulb

Should I also install HID fogs? I'm on the fence about it.

 

No i it's not recommended for the housings. I did LED they match my HIDs perfect


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

 

So now I have a new issue. I installed another morimoto kit for my fog lights and when I turn the car on, only one side turns on. Everything is wired correctly. I don't understand. I even got the side they wouldn't to turn on to light up by turning the fog light switch on and off but this is annoying. Has anyone else run into this issue when installing fog light hid kits ?

Hey, so I apologize for bringing up such an old thread but I’ve been looking everywhere without much luck. I have a 2015 limited with halogens and bought the 2015+ morimoto elite kit. I’m just curious where people are mounting the resistors for the lights. I looked and can’t find a good spot and can’t find any answers online. Also I saw in this thread some people mentioned not using the resistors. Can I install this kit with out them? Sorry for all the questions on such an old thread but hopefully someone can help me.

 

Resistors get very hot. Best thing is to get a couple of aluminum strips, about 1/4" thickness, 4"-5" in length, that should be enough to dissipate the heat, and mount the resistors on the ends of those and then you can attach the other end to practically any panel under the hood. Check home depot or lowes hardware section, they usually have flat or angle stock there.

 

Thanks, I appreciate the reply!

 

Boltzen AC CANBUS Series: 55w HID Kit from OPT7 site , Do we need the Relay Harness / Anti-Flicker Bundle? and when ordering, do I get the 9005? will the 9005 HID still have the low/ high beam option? and is it same for the H11 fogs?

 

Why are you going with fogs? LEDs are better and just plug right in. No issues.
