im sure i will get it when i tear into it. but it just seems confusing the way the pic looks. their directions say the capacitor goes between the factory power and the ballast..... from your pic on the bottom what is powering the ballast?

My capacitor is between the factory power and the ballast.

Factory Power goes from the top "stock harness" connector to the white male connector for your low beam H11 headlight bulb.

You attach the male connector that was suppost to go into your stock H11 bulb to the wires in which I spliced together.

Now the factory power is going thru the red and black wires that I spliced together. The wires I spliced together are the wires that are attached to the white male connector. The white male connector is what used to connect to the H11 bulb.

The 2 wires (black and white) that are attached to the connector which I call the "stock harness" on top in the top picture are the SAME black and white wires that are attached to the white male connector for the H11 bulb. imagine the H11 bulb connected to the white male connector, you remove the H11 bulb and attach the red and black wire that I spliced together. Chrysler routes the black and white wires inside the headlight housing to keep the housing water tight. The factory power goes all the way to the white male connector, you are just adding a length of wire (the black and red) as an extension to reach your ballast when you mount it.

Does that clearify your question?
