Check your grounds, make sure they are to bare metal.

Check the polarity on the ballasts. It is possible to plug them in backwards (I've done it a few times!)

Check that the power wire to the battery is snug.

the only thing is this kit doesnt have any grounds, jumpers, or lines that need to go to the battery, i used everything that was in the box and everything only plugs up into a certain spot. Has anyone else used the NIGHT VISION kit from retro?

when the order was placed, did you select your truck in the vehicle application drop down box?

Don't worry, once you get it, it'll be good. I ordered projectors and they forgot to ship them, but he responds really fast. And he'll get you squared away.

What I did is to start with that top one, the one that you have to hook up to your battery. Run the long tail end over to the passenger side headlight. Take out each headlight form your housing and install your hid bulbs in the headlights and the rest should come easy. The ballast go to each of the headlight wires so just take your time to install them and you should be good to go.Hope that help.
