I just tried the 9011's in my 14 SLT and they are a little brighter but no where near what I consider OK, nor no where near my old stock '11 GMC. So I ordered the Mopar Elite low 35w 9012 kit from TRS. Will take me 1-2 weeks to get it put in. Will let you all know the results.

Plug and play bulbs? What's this?

OK well, aside from the mentioned "snipping" ; its essentially plug and play. No whiter tho which stinks.

Because you plan to install the fx-r projectors, I believed that they take only d2s bulbs, so you probably want to check with morimoto to see which bulb wiring kit you will need.

Let me just this straight, I just ordered a DDM 5k HID kit for my truck, if I want the vled fogs to match I would need to get the 6k LEDs?

This a great thead thanks to all those who have contributed. Purchased a 15 Chevy 2500 HD LT3 CC/SB a couple weeks ago and after having DDM on my 06 2500, nearly the same day I ordered the same setup; Capacitor, 35W slim line and 6k bulbs. I have looked at the schematic some one did but it didn't seem to work for me. Attached is a pic of what I have for a setup. I have tried reversing the polarity on before and after the capacitor. Nothing has worked. I am sure it's user error but I could use some help. The only way I see it going together is the OEM harness to capacitor, to ballast to light. Am I missing some thing?

Is the kit 35W or 55W? If it is 55W then I believe that you can order the LED bulb in the same K (so 5K) to match the HIDs. If the HIDs are 35W then I believe that you will need the 6K LED to match the HID

You're missing a relay wiring harness. See diagram attached to post #1 of this topic.

Ok, so to be clear, if you are ordering from DDM, you need the HID harness along with your bulb choice, ballast choice and error eliminators?

Plan on waiting a lifetime from DDM. I ordered on April 10th and still don't have them. I called on Friday and was told the woman put in a request to find out where my order is and told me to wait 3 business days. They said I can't cancel an order after it was shipped, so if they don't have an answer tomorrow then I will have my bank cancel the payment to them. Last time I ordered it too 2 weeks, that was 3 years ago.

***Update***

 

Called DDMTuning. They are supposedly putting another request to the USPS to find out where my order is and a manager will call me later tonight to tell me what happened "because they want me to know they care" according to the woman. She put blame on Customs in China due to the Malaysia aircraft that was lost. The USPS said "that is an aweful thing to put blame on, there are no such facts to show that the Malaysia flight is affecting any shipments through customs."

 

I am currently on hold with USPS, as far as they can tell the package was prepped for shipment but never given to China Post or whoever controls shipment overseas. I am in the middle of being transferred to International customer service.

 

To be honest, this is my 5th purchase from DDM and all have taken ages to recieve packages. Over a month after pay $27 for shipping is rediculous. I plan to cancel the order tonight, whether it be through DDM or cancelling it with my credit card.

 

Guess its time for another brand :(

Alright guys, my morimoto kit was delivered yesterday and I put it in today. Ordered the relay kit and the error eliminators. Got everything ran and nothing. I had power and good ground. Single input harness so drivers stock plug obviously is not plugged into anything like the diagram on page one. So I swapped capacitors and still nothing. So I pulled the capacitor out and it turned on , but buzzed. I flipped the plug on the passenger. So for now I'm running no harness and I have the stock plugs into the capacitors then to the ballast. They work fine, but every now and then they would turn on and then one light will turn right back off. I can turn the lights off and then back on and the both come on and stay on. So am I missing something with why the harness is not working? Or why one bulb will turn off? Thanks guys!!

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
