Default Hid install

I installed some ddm tuning hids for my 07 JK and they don't work. The lights flicker when I turn them on and that's it. They don't stay on. I tried the install with the relay box and without to no luck. I've seen hid installs on JKs on here and hoping one of you can chime in. Thanks!

Did you get a kit made to work with the CANBUS or the CANBUS adapters? Basically it's a capacitor box that goes between the stock wiring and the HID wiring, smoothing the power flow.

DDM has a kit with a pair of "error eliminators" - choose the correct ones for jeep & plug them in before the bulbs.

+1 You can actually burn up the module I did it in my 06 grand cherokee. I got lucky and it was a warranty claim saved about 5 bills.

Then assuming everything is wired correctly, you may have a bad module.
