Are the canbus ballasts necessary for the fog lights as well or can the fogs just be regular ballasts?

Yes they are , my buddy had a extra set of regular ballast and we tried to see if they would work.
Nope the bulbs didn't fire up. Ddm kit works for me on my fogs

I hear you. It honestly wasn't an difficult thing to do. The hardest part was opening the damn housings. I just ended up cutting them open with a dremel and cutting disk then resealed them with 100% silicone. The auto level goes to the bracket you mount the projector to so I don't think it will be much of an issue. Try searching and asking questions on hidplanet.com. It's full of people with tons of knowledge about this. I did have to cut the high beam solenoid wires of the stock one and solder the ones of the new projector to them, inside of the housing.

Installed hid with canbus built in to the ballast on my 2015 Durango and it worked for a short while then passenger side went out, turned lights off and back on...work for a short while then pass side went out again. Installed a relay harness and they now stay on but has a mild flicker.. looks like they have a mild surge. Question: I ran the power wire of the harness to the power block under the hood on the passenger side (plastic red cap) and used the nearby grounding post because the fraking battery is under the pass seat. Do i need to connect directly to the battery instead of the "jump start post"? would that cure the mild flickering? About to run a harness to the now hid foglights also because..surprise..they go off as well. I'm tired of fighting these lights but the hid's are soooo much better than the horrible factory bulbs. . Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I would appear that to win the lighting battle on a 2015 you have to use canbus ballasts, a relay harness and a capacitor/anti flicker setup. So far so good and tons better than factory.
