Depends what kit you bought. The HIDExtra kit comes with the correct wiring harness to deal with the highs and lows.

What you need to do is remove the plastic cap from behind the headlight to access the low beam harness connector. Just give it a quarter turn counter clockwise. Then drill a hole in the cap big enough to fit the hid harness connector through and plug into the factory connector in the headlight. Plug the other end of the hid harness into the hid bulb. Find the correct sized grommet to fill in the hole you drilled in the cap and just big enough for the wires to slide through. Fill in any remaining gap with silicone, connect the rest of the plug and play harness to your ballasts, etc. and your all set! If you're still confused, do a search on hid install and you should find a few good write ups with some pics. Good luck!

Ok, I looked at some pictures of the aftermarket projector headlights. They look to have the same design as the factory set. If you pull off the rubber plug at the back for the low beam bulb, you should be able to see where the headlight harness plugs into the low beam bulb. Unplug the low beam bulb from the harness. Then plug your HID harness into the harness you just disconnected. Plug the other end of the ballast harness into the HID bulb. The factory truck harness plugs into the three prong headlight harness just like it did before.
