HID Help wiring.
Just installed these.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ht_4630wt_1165
Im not here to debate if these are good or not. The issue I am having is the limited instructions. I have them all wired up at least as far as I can tell. and it seemed to be just plug and play.
The issue I am having is when I turn the car off, the lights come back on after about a min and sound like they are sparking, and flicker, and then go out, then I hear a Ticking sound inside the cab of the Jeep, right by the light switch. After being off about 5-10 min the lights come back on, (this is with switch off and jeep off) and stay on for a while, then flicker, go out, and repeat, can anyone help me with this please.

Alright I had the same issue. You have to remove the headlight control fuse. Not the headlight fuse. It's the auto headlight brain freaking out cause of odd voltage readings. You know how when you shut your jeep off and the old headlights stayed on for 30 seconds? That brain is freaking out

Remove the headlamp delay module. Its under the dash behind the knee bolster. Closer to the driver door, just right of the turn signal flasher. You will need to pull on the plug pretty hard.

I found it. I used what you said and located it. I was thinking fuse box not under dash. I pulled the knee guard down and just listed for the click and touched them till i found the one that was making the noise...
I just wiggled it back and forth until i broke the little mounting fin and then pulled the module off.

Sorry to dig up an old thread but I was sent a link to this and it EXACTLY what is happening to mine. Did this fix it?? People have told me to just turn my high beams on before turning the lights and jeep off and that fixes it. But they're still drawing on the battery even tho the lights don't turn on when I remove keys because it's in the high beam setting.

You just need a relay harness. I recommend the one here: https://www.theretrofitsource.com/co...harnesses.html for the H4/9003.
I had tried others and had issues with water intrusion. Of course if you don't go through 2 foot deep holes, you might not have that problem.
I still have full headlight delay with HID.
edit: Also, I can't see what you bought? They don't make real projectors for $60...
