well i figured out why the jeep would ever have an issue w lighting...

the JK Jeep Wrangler (2007+ Models) use a special CANBUS functionality built into the lighting circuit. This is a good thing because it is a more intelligent design to control the lighting BUT it makes modifying the headlights a pain in the @$$.

Wouldn't it be easier just to get a new relay harness for the hi/lo from DDM? No problems with mine still, no flickers on low or hi

Unfortunately with the harness and error eliminators they still don't work correctly. Tried them with and without the eliminators. They shut off halfway home tonight. Thank god I had my fogs. They're going to be listed for sale for anyone who can get em to work for themselves.

Thats your opinion and that's fine . I've used ddm for years. And I know a bunch of guys who run them on their JKs with no issues.

the JK Jeep Wrangler (2007+ Models) use a special CANBUS functionality built into the lighting circuit. This is a good thing because it is a more intelligent design to control the lighting BUT it makes modifying the headlights a pain in the @$$.

That's the bottom line. It has nothing to do with which brand you use.

Is this with the hi/lo bulbs and harness? or just the low beam bulbs. Wonder why it wouldn't work if they were both hi/low

Ah gotcha, maybe that's why the canbus is freaking out. I've never tried it with the lows only (on vehicles that have hi/low on same bulb) and haven't seen the same problems on any vehicle I've installed the kit in.

Sorry to hear they aren't working out for you. I run them in mine and both hi/low work awesome.
