    The two wires in your pic plug into each other. You will have to attach the silver prongs to the wires then put the prongs into the male black connector (pictured on the right) then plug it into the female connector (pictured on th left)

    The wiring harness should just have the female end of the connection. When I did mine Just had to put the silver prongs on the wires coming from the projector and then put the black male connector onto the wires. Once I did that all I had to do was plug the connectors together.

    im soo confused:confused:.. the harness has no female... the only female are the 2 that goes into the ballast... other than that its just prongs or the wires with a washer shape at the end to connect to the battery....

    from top left going down:
    retro in the making w/ 2 prongs sticking out projector
    male connector (under retro in the making)
    female connector (under retro in the making)

    From top right going down:
    Finished retro w/ male connector at end of projector
    harness w/ 2 prongs sticking off to lower left side of pic.

    i figured we didnt need the rest of the harness in the picture because the rest of the harness is just the 2 female connectors that plug into the ballast.

    Man I'm really not sure what to tell you about the wiring harness. Where did you get this kit from? Did you buy someone on here or from a vendor?

    Sounds like your wiring harness does not have the high beam wired in. I would either call Matt at TRS to get one wired up or just hardwired it yourself.

    You can see the ends of the harness it has the high beam attachment built in.

    Good luck Bro...

    i really feel like taking the other headlight apart and tinting the signal/dtrl lens yellow along with the one i already have apart.

    hmmm...... sounds like a good idea: LED gauge done by you, lights by aaron... and ill smoke ribs and bring some brewskiessss :p hahaha

    Looking good man. Yah I would say getting a hold of Matt at TRS would be your best bet about the wiring harness
