The projector lamps will complicate things a bit. Do you have it set up so the power to the ballast comes through to the outside of the housings?

Long story, before the projector came in I recieved the new HID kit, and noticed that it had male connectors as part of the assembly. I thought ahead and spliced the old headlight harness with a female on the power for the low beam, and left the high beam in the old harness along with the ground. The new projectors have four wires, power/ground for low, power/ground for high. So the old harness is giving power/ground to highs, and just ground to the lows. So pretty much the power to the harness is coming from the single wire I stole from the old harness. Does this make sense? The last kit I bought(from retrosolutions I believe) had a wire from the battery to a square box(relay) and the two kit were connected. I know, I was stupid. I just thought that with the H1 kit,(not the H13 like I previously had) needed some modification that I went ahead and did. I have the know how to hook up a relay, but maybe an all inclusive kit can save me time and headaches. I basically have to use the low beam power for the turn on for the relay, and run power from the battery, to the relay, out from the relay to the power for the harness. I just don't know the important numbers.

Well,, I read this three times and I can only say that I'm a little confused still. Would you possibly beable to send a diagram to us via email? Just something made in MSpaint is fine even, just so I can see what's really going on here.
