So this is the wire that needs to connect to the headlamp power supply...the other two ballasts are connected. Any ideas?

Uhhh...what connects to your stock headlight harnesses? Those kind of look like the 9004 plugs...

I don't see what you mean by 3? Take pictures of all the ones you don't have a "plug" for.

Heres any overview...two of those red plugs are attached and one is free. The one thats is free seems to be the one that needs to connect to the headlamp power supply if im reading the diagram right.

So when everything is connected on both sides the grey wire that is attached to the blue harness hangs loose and the third red wire.

The only thing that is attached to the stock harness is the blue thing...then theres the grey plug and another wire that hang loose off of that with nothing to plug into.

OK so heres the full setup all hooked up. The two things that I've circled are things that I dont know where to connect...

Also the two grey plugs that are connect to the blue harness...do those connect to anything?

men its very easy...look the picture again, one of the socket that is attached to the oem connector if you see in the pic is alone, and also the other "red" conector is attached to the other connector why? cause we just need one power supply cause the main harness has the power to the 2 ballast.

The pic on your reply #28, you made a circle, thats the connector that will be alone(no connection), you just need to connect the bulbs and to the oem socket to help the bulb to change the high and low beam option.

Also on the same picture, look upper side and you will see the relay and the Red connector (on the left)that you made a sing on the reply 29, why you dont see it alone, cause is connected.

So the third red connector doesnt attach to anything? Because in the diagram it shows that it needs to connect to the headlamp power supply.

Awesome so everything is all hooked up and they power on. But now my high beam light on the dash is always on.

Also when switching between high beam and low beam it seems like its reversed. When I put on the high beams the lights point down to the road.

When putting on the low beam they point up and cover more space. Any ideas. Thanks!
