guys need help please,!! with e-bay upgrade headlight harness

hi I bought a headlight upgrade harness w/relays from e-bay and I ve talked too a few people and they said you cant just plug and paly you have too match the stock headlight harness wires too the new harness wires form the upgrade kit! how do you take the wires out of the e-bay kit too change them around and also whats the order I have too put them in?????... i need help because one side ( the pass.) is starting too melt again could this be becuase the wires have too be switched and they are not propely switched? also my high beam indicator is always on and I have no high beams

Stop using rice bulbs. You shouldn't need any new relays, just cut the plug off your stock harness connect and the corresponding wires.

o.k on the ebay harness there are a set of colored wires(3) and the same on the stock harness...a low, high, ground... well apparently there is an order too the way these connect, a specific order. some say you have too open up the e-bay harness and rearrange the wires. I need too know this order, instead of standing out there and guessing all day thanx

all I did was cut off the old harness, and hard-wire the new one to the 3 colored wires. dont worry about the order, just match up the position (left, middle, right).

i guess that would be the order.

mine had different colored wires but they come out the end in the same order as the stock ones so there should be no problem.
