    The stock wiring only controls the relays for the hid setup, all the power goes through the hid harness direct to battery so there is no extra load on the factory wiring.

    the bulb cover should be position at the bottom of the headlamp, forcing the light to the top of the headlamp and then reflected down. Im not sure if you can install them in wrong because of the three prongs and there sizes. But double check that you have them in correctly and not at an angle.

    Yeah I tryed the taps wouldn't fit that way. The bulb is up with the reflector down, but it seem like it's just going up. I got a haynes manual and looked at the headlight adjust so maybe that could help. It was just a little to much work to do tonight. I'm going to try and adjust the headlight and see how that goes. Thanks for the help.

    just stand in front of your truck with the headlights on and if all of the light is not coming from the top half of the headlight than the bulbs are in at an angle and need to re-positioned.

    The stock bulb has two large tabs and one small tab. The new HID bulbs have two small tabs and only one large tab, so it is possible to position the bulb in two different angles. I believe the one large tab should be at the top of the headlight so that the reflector is at the bottom of the housing.

    I just received my kit and I was looking over it. Looks like I have faulty equipment. What do you think? I havent tried hooking anything up, and if this is not going to cause a problem then Im ok with it. This is the wiring to the ballast by the way

    Drew I had a problem at first also. I had one of the connectors backwards. Figured it out after I used my multimeter. If you have a mutlimeter or one of those circuit checkers with the bulbs that light up just check to see it your getting power.
