Default HID signals not working?

Hey so i just got a HID kit for my jeep and the signals dont work in the front now. So i heard about can-bus cancellers. Installed them and still nothing. I then removed the negative terminal kn the battery and still nothing. Does anyone know what i should get or how i can fix this issue so my front signals work again with my hid's?

Stupid question. Are you sure they are plugged in? I have never seen adding HIDs EVER cause the signals to malfunction. I have seen techs forget to plug things back together though. Several times.

Yeah there is apparently another issue. Check plugs and fuses for the parking lamps.

All head light plugs r good ill check fuses but i heard its because the computer senses a burnt out light because hids dont use as much power as a normal light bulb. I know dodge n jeeps have problems with hids cuz my buddys dodge needed the canbus things then my buddies srt8 jeep flickered like no other.

Well if the computer saw a burn out, you wouldn't be the only one I've seen on here with this issue. Try and check your fuses, and pull both bulbs. Check for blown bulbs.
