I have no sound at work but looks like everything is there just needs to be connected. I can try looking when I get home in a few to see whats going on in the vid. I deff saw the resistor and ballast and the bulbs looked like they were already in.

On my setup the resistors are looped with the light then straight into the ballasts. The 3 leads coming from that light are going to be plugged into your factory harness. Hope that helps.

and so it is Lights->resistor->ballest?

On the grounds run them under a bolt on the fender. The Ballests fit best on the cross support infront of the radiator. The relay is best put on the upper support on the drivers side. Far as the relays I have mine stuck over behind the lights on the fender support.

Dude, I've been off the forum this afternoon - should have popped me an email!

Gimme a few and I'll take a look at the vid. Also - if I am "busy", etc - Todd (who I resell HIDs from) always offers up service and support via phone as well. I'll pm you his number here in a few, but I think we can get you figured out bud!

ok, try this Nick:

all bulbs come with those extra connectors on them - they are used on some vehicles, not in the Ram though.

Let me know if you have any issues - I'm on IM all night!

so was that set up correct?

and on the OEM connector i did not see anywhere where it could plug in.
there was a blue adapter that i thought the 3 stray wires off of the lights plugged in.

and the extra connector is the part that has the snap on?

i have the kit right next to me im gonna try and set it up again and ill take a pic.

thanks Jeremy!

ok this is the set up i got from the picture you put up.
that Blue part goes into where the old light was plugged into and the female wire near the relay, the short wire, im not to sure where that goes.
and for the blue adapter is that the wire set up?

thanks!
