HID conversion of 2014 ram 3500

Sorry I was a little wrong with the term complex....the HIDs are plug and play but from what I remember (it's been a while since I researched) people were having problems fitting the balast in the housing and also having heat issues.

The LED conversion is the one that's complex as the canbus system needs to be satisfied with a certain voltage. There's a complete writeup on what relays and whatever else is needed to make them work on the Cummins forum.

The ballasts do not go into the housing, only the bulbs do. I have always mounted my ballasts (four them, two for low beams and two for highs) behind the front grille. Plenty of air flow through there and will never over heat.

HID 'conversion' kits are nothing more than a ballast and bulb. Disconnect your old bulb, plug the truck side wires into your ballast, install new HID bulb into headlights and PRESTO! Then mount your ballast where you want and make it look pretty. It does get a little more 'complicated' if the there is only one bulb for high and low vs two separate bulbs.
