Why not run the down the fire wall and Im still not getting how that one plug will make 2 lights work. I get how evrything mounts and or plugs up from pulling my lights to installing the ballast. I get all that I get how the harness bolts and plugs up as well just dont get how one will make 2 work is all. I guess I will see when it comes in. Also Dbrown keep checkin here I may need to pick your brain when mine comes in.

As long as you plug in one of the original light plugs into the blue connector it will work. Like I said, the original light plugs are only used as a trigger now instead of being the power supply. The relay harness will become the new power supply.

Slide a small screwdriver in the plug to release the wires and rewire as shown. Check with a multimeter to prevent damage to the circuits and wiring.
Ok mine are red black thin red no blue. And the stock wiring is red, purple with white stripe and Purple.

I installed the kit all is great 2 issues Flicker on one setting and the high bean indicator stays on. I bought the harness that YOU GUYS suggested and I havent got anywhere with it.


I NEED HELP with this please. Im completly friggin lost.

Okay, since you say your harness doesn't have the right colours, just do it mentally, switch around what would be the red and the black wires, after that your high beam indicator should go off and the lights should work no problem. I've never seen a harness that used different colour wires, unless it was home built, so maybe you could take some pictures of that for us?

err.. He needs to switch the wires around on the harness side.. not the truck side. I mean either way would work, but if he does it truck side, then if the truck ever had to be put back stock, it wouldn't work because it would be wired 9007 on the truck side.
