Default Hid bixenon lights not working. Need help

I have a 2008
Dodge Ram Truck. I put them in today and have an issue with them and was
wondering if you might be able to help me. We installed the Hi/Lo relay and
hooked them up to the factory lights on the left side of the truck. Hooked up
the Power cords to the battery, hooked up the ground to the ground on the frame
of the truck. Installed the canceller and then to the ballast, then to the
lights. On the right side of the truck hooked up the canceller and the ballest,
then capped and stowed the factory plug. This is were the problem started. The
lights worked great untill I started the truck. Once I started the truck about
5 min into running the lights started flashing then shut off. The lights did
this on low beam only, but did not do it on hi beam. We had another Hi/Lo
relay kit and switched out the relay and same thing. Fog lights are hooked up
and running fine. Had no issues with them. Please help me wit this if you can.
I really loved the lights when they were working.

Update. I got it fixed last night. I had to cut and splice into the Hi/Lo relay wire harness. You have to do the splice between the factory harness and the Hi/Lo relay. Do not cut into the factory harness. I have a wiring diagram that shows this. my email is jasonmiller8@***.net if anyone wants a copy of it.

No flicker on High because the canbus does not check for the highbeam on 08-prior models, just the low beam. 09+ checks for lowbeam and foglights.

Can you post up a copy on here?
