Hi y'all well I bought a set of HIDs off eBay and they look great but I have a small problem with them. when I turn the jeep on and turn my headlights on they come on and all but when I go to turn my headlights back off they don't turn off they stay on till I turn my ignition off witch is a problem cause if I turn them on while I'm driving I have to stop shut the truck off to turn my lights off I was wondering if anyone has put HIDs on there rig and if anyone has had the problem

 

I got the same problem. Didn't do it until about a year after I put them in.

 

I'm currently experiencing this problem. Some times it happens, sometimes not. I've been doing some research and the headlight delay system tends to mess with hid systems. There is a plug under the dash you can pull to disable it. I'm going to try that and see where it gets me. It doesn't make sense how the ballast stays charged up and pushes power to the lights even after you kill the power at the headlight switch.. I'll figure it out eventually!

 

I'm also thinking about wiring them to a toggle switch to see if it's something to do with the stock headlight switch.

 

For the people having this problem, did you use and upgraded relay harness or just the basic plug and play setup consisting of a ballast and bulb? I had the same issue, added the relay harness, problem solved.

 

I'm running a relay, and still experiencing the issue.

 

In the mean time, you can switch to your high beams while the jeep is off, it's basically the same type of thing as a toggle switch. I did a relay too and still had the problem. Switching the high beam on while the jeep is off seemed to solve he problem for now. If I don't do it, they will flicker and make a terrible buzzing sound.

 

You need to remove your headlight timer fuse. Or also known as headlamp delay fuse. It's the ecu that controls the headlight timer freaking out since it's a different wattage confusing it

 

On 97 and newer the timer is behind the driver side kick panel. It should click during the issue your having. Locate and disconnect. On 96 and older find the under dash fuse box on driver side look for fuse labeled (hdl dly) or something close to that. If I need to I'll get a picture of the fuse location tomorrow

 

Be careful when pulling this out though. If my memory serves me right, it was screwed in. Its been awhile since I pulled mine though

 

Pulled mine today, problem solved!!! By the way I also have a harness with a relay.

 

Can you get a pic please? That would be helpful!

 

What exactly does the plug look like on 97+ ?

 

I am currently sitting in my chem lab right so I cannot take a picture of the unit, But it is a silver square that you can feel buzzing when your lights are on. It is under the steering column, to the left. turn your lights on and feel around. That's what I did. If you have to, take the interior panels off and find it that way

 

Did you take the entire relay out? Or just disconnect it somehow?
