are these the ones that you're talking about ?

The harness with the blue and black wires is not going to be used, so you can take it out. And you will only use one of the stock plugs, which is going to be plugged into the black female socket on the relay harness. The other two plugs go to each of the ballast, I decided to use the driver side because it was closer to the battery (+) to get my power from. The ballast are secure and well hidden. The only wire you can see is the red one from the fuse to the relay. let me know what yall think.

I don't have any schematics in-hand, but from the pics, it looks as if your stock HL connector is plugged into the blue & black wired connector (of which you stated is not going to be used). If that's the case, how are you triggering the lights on & off? Seems like a piece of the puzzle is missing from your post?

Also... where's the pics of the lights WORKING?!?!?!

*edit*

I noticed your description and pics are different. The pics show both stock connectors plugged into the connectors wired with blue & black wires, and the description states only using one stock connector as a trigger for a relay to the ballasts (using the female connector shown in the 2nd pic). The description is right, and the second pic (driver's side shot) should show the stock connector into the relay harness.

Nice design, now post some pics of the 8000K on display!

lol.... yeah, in the pic the blue and black wire harness is connected because i was trying to figure out how it was supposed to be wired (i took the pic to send to InMotionPerf....) So its not wired like that anymore.... The pics are wired wrong, the way i explained is correct. ill even take a pic of the blue and black wire harness cut if i still have it laying around somewhere. Im posting pics up tonight, hopefully it doesnt rain like last night !
