    Hey guys,
    im new here so im going to do the best i can do.

    So recently i ordered a pair of retrofit headlights for my 2006 Tacoma: http://www.protuninglab.com/hid-2lh...ooglepepla&utm_medium=adwords&id=140850936538

    I was super stoked for them but then when i received them, i was in a shock.
    this is my first time really doing this on my own so im kind of a newby at this stuff.

    pretty much my issue is the relay harness that was sent to me i have been led to believe is the incorrect one. this harness contains the following connectors on it:
    • INPUT TRIGGER: 1x H4/9003 Male

    • BALLAST OUTPUTS: 2x 9006 Male

    • HIGH BEAM OUTPUTS: 2x 9006 Male

    • GROUNDS: 2x Nickel-Plated Ring-Type

    • 12V POWER: 1x Nickel-Plated Ring-Type

    • FUSE: Inline 25A

    Now, the issue is as follows...
    Once i (think) i have hooked all the wiring up correctly i get no power other than hi beams

    On the back of the headlight itself i have two of the single pin plugs (which i believe controls the hi/lo control of the lamp) which connects directly to the included ballast, and then i also have another connector below those (being a H4/9003 Male) aswell as an 9006 Male.

    My ideology is as follows:
    since the relay harness itself is using one of the female H4/9003 Female connectors coming from the factory harness to control both headlights i assume, its as if a third H4/9003 Female is required. to put it into perspective, i have both headlights, each having a H4/9003 Male connector and then the relay harness having a H4/9003 Male connector. the relay harness from my understanding plugs into one or the other H4/9004 Female connectors from the factory harness as a control. but then my question is... where do the two on the headlights connect... at the end of the scenario, i have all connectors being used except for the two male H4/9003 Male connectors on the headlights themselves.

    I do apologize for having such a long question, i have googled all i know how to but have yet to find an answer, if i did not specify these are HID bulbs, if some of you could maybe give me a solution or tell me a different harness i need purchase please do

    Thank you all
    - Trey

    Before you make any changes to what was sent, that would likely void any warranty, have you reached out to the seller?

    I have not altered the headlights or harness in any way, i have sent them an email but have gotten no reply (although i assume their office is closed for the weekend)

    I stand corrected, my harness does not actually have the "high beam output" connector, i assume thats what connects to those extra ones coming off the headlight
