I think that's what Mike is trying to walk me through right now... I'm sure I've frustrated the hell out of him trying to get this mess to work, so I will say that he has been most helpful in trying to get this figured out.

The problem was that the instructions on the website, don't match reality, and the instructions that came with the harness are wrong also. Hopefully when we get this straightened out he can post on here what to do so all these other people getting the kit can get it right the first time.

if this is the two relay morimoto harness heres what you need to do.

You need to find out which is which on the blue and orange wires....they are coming in various configurations from the factory, it really sucks, its why i dont use this harness without modifying it now.

Youre gonna need to take ALL the wires out of the connector. then get a 9V battery.

touch the black wire to NEGATIVE on the battery, and then touch the blue wire toPOSITIVE
If only one relay clicks/moves when you do that blue is low beam, if when you do this test both relays move then blue is high beam in your harness. So one relay=low beam, two relays=high beam

After your test rewire your connector like this, hold the connector with the flat side and the nub up and the wire holes facing you. when you look at the wire holes the one in the middle should be up high and the ones on the ends should be lower.

Stick the BLACK ground wire in the MIDDLE

Stick HIGH wire on the LEFT

Stick the LOW wire on the RIGHT.

Well, I think I see my problem right off the bat... It's late now, but im 99% sure I don't have my black wire in the middle. I will start there and just try both combinations of the other 2 wires, and one should work... I hope....

Thanks for the suggestion with the battery and relays, that should make it easier to figure out too.

Oh yeah, and I need to pick up some 10A fuses tomorrow lol. I think I've gone through 2 or 3 already....

Go for it!

I'm loving them now that I got them aimed correctly and have brights. Do our headlights allow you to aim the shutter cutoff left&right? Mine are very close, at 25ft when I am aiming, the shutter lines are maybe 18" off, but if there's an easy adjustment for that I'll fix it?

They are mounted in your reflector, there is no way to adjust left or right. Your good to go!
