Question Help---Halo Projection headlights installation 2001 Ram

I just installed a set of K2 halo projection headlights in my 2001 Ram, and they look awsome, but looks can be deceving, and I need some help. First K2 does not give or have any wiring diagrams, so I had to try to figure out the best I could, since my electrical skills are not the best. Now I have some problems, with the lights. The plug and play part was easy, except now my high beam indicator light is on all the time when the lights are on. The Halo lights stay on when the lights are off. The driving lights go off when the headlights are turned on. There are 3 sets of wires coming off the lights assembly. One set is for the eyebrow lights, second set is for the Halo rings and the third is for the 3 individul lights that are forward of the eyebrow lights. I have tryed to look online to find information, but it was limited. There is also mention online of resistors being installed inline to help performance of the lights. So does anyone have any ideas or run into this problem that could help me fix issues. Wiring instructions would really help.

my cousins lights were like that, you have to redo the wireing in the lights switch them. and test till you get it too work, then the lights will work right and they will be 4xs brighter also.

Switch the black and blue wires in the PNP harness on the projectors. The PNP harness was designed for the Sport models which is a slightly different bulb

You can pop out the black and blue wires out with a vary small standard screwdriver by pushing the retaining clip down from the plug side (not the side the wires are going in) depress the small clip and back the plug out and switch them.

I have same headlights... Don't try to fix the bright light thing cuz it wont go off... Start cutting the wires and mix match tilll you get them how you want... And be prepared to not be able to see. there not bright. There for looks not performance. overall im satisfied. Tons of compliments on them.

aim4squirrels is right, and you must have gotten yours wrong gav, because mine are so bright, they were dim before I tried fixing them, and why did you cut wires????? just pop them out and put them in, and the bright indicator went off on mine once I got them fixed, you honestly dont have yours fixed yet gav, and will appreciate them much more if you actually do it right.

Smile Thanks!

It will take me a week or so to get it worked out. I work 6 days a week. I will also post a pic when I get it back together. Thanks to all for your help.

Default headlights

Just installed new halo led headlights on my 96 dodge ram 1500 sport..the bright indicator in my dash won't turn off, no matter if my brights are on or off, which keeps my fog lights from coming on and there is a slow transition between my brights and dims....any suggestions please?
