    I'm going to try and switch the ballast. If that's not it I will buy a new harness. Thanks for all the help!!!!

    Tried switching the ballast and still didn't work. However, when I hooked everything up in the original way, now both headlights aren't working.

    Could it be the relay harness?

    I can still hear it click when I turn the headlight switch on......I'm stumped!!!

    It could be the original headlight relays you hear, maybe a bad relay in the new harness? My advice would be to test light from the original headlight socket to the new harness and see where the power loss is at. Also check the grounds.
