You need to disable the DRL's or use a relay harness to get full battery voltage to the balasts.

ditch them and putt piaa's in. Hid kits never work right

I had to disconnect and reconnect my wiring harness at all points and apply dielectric grease as I noticed some points looked like they had some moisture signs. Also used a screw driver to make sure everything was inserted correctly. But so far its been about 6 months and no issues.

I also put the same kits on my 08 tribeca and now the cruise control liight flashes the antiskid light is on and the check engine light is on any suggestions

not true... i LOVE mine.. and they are the "cheap" kits. both kits- for lows and fogs- I only paid about $170 total. ballasts have lifetime warranties.

did you read over that one thread for the 07's? something about disconnecting 2 wires on the harness?

tribeca may be the same system, but im not sure.
