I had them wired because I ordered capacitors and tried everything because nothing would work. Now I only have 1 high beam working too...

alright so my problem is i bought a hid kit and it came with the harness ( i will link below) and got some plug in cancellors and when i installed lights blinked every few seconds and a loud click as well as lamp out signal on my dash i have an 2002 ram 1500 5.9l and i did just buy those resistors from newark, are those going to fix my problems?

I always like to use resistors on 02-05s and caps for 06+

Pretty much all harness have one plug that connects to the drivers side. You need to go to ebay and buy a spare plug and build one like i did to go on the pass side to trick the truck into thinking there are bulbs there.

Start with the basics. Wiggle some wires and check all connections.

So you have two kits right? One kit is connected to both headlights right? The other kit is connected to both fogs right?

No need for caps on the fogs but you do need them on the head lights.

If you dont have them yet, get them and go from there. Remember you should have a set of caps connected to the pass side also to mimic that side of head light
