Heres my best shot at showing the probs Im having with these lights.

Grab a light testor, and figure it out that way. Then make the plug/adapter harness deal. I dont have the same lights you do, but the connector you have going into the ballast going and the other one off the main harness are the light wires from the truck. Test those first. The plugs at .53 seconds and at 1.42. those should be high and low beam. Those plugs directly plug into the stock headlight bulbs for a stock housing. Each plug has a power and ground. Lots of these aftermarket light housings use a different type of bulb so the plug is different and some have a high/low 3 wire setup.

The corner light on the fender is not normally a blinker, just a running light. They did some "interesting" wiring on that truck. Ignore the halo wiring and any other wiring other than the 4 needed for high and low beam for each side, they come off those two plugs mentioned in the previous post. Have a few fuses handy while goofing with it incase you bust it due to having positive and negative backwards.
Too bad I am not going to MA on this trip. I will be in CT southbof hartford, if not I would meet you somewhere and help you out with it.

See my comments on youtube.
I'll see if I can get a picture of my hack job after work. I installed the same lights years ago and they've held up thus far.
Though... for the life of me I can't remember if there was anything special/strange that I had to do.

Ok, lets try to reverse engineer this a little bit and then I might be able to add some help. In the stock form, the lower marker light should be your turn signal only, the outsides are your parking lights, the place where your projectors are is supposed to be the low beams and the inside lights are going to be your high beams. Your inside lights do not look like projector hids so those should not need a ballast. Lets start with the markers first, before we can get into to much detail, we need to figure how exactly how they were wired and if things were converted to two elements per bulb to allow for flashing and parking. Can you tell me what lights are on when you have the flashers on and then what lights are on when the parking lights are on? Lastly, do the same with the parking lights on and then turn on a turn signal. I dont believe that any of the US based vehicles had daytime running lights so I would not expect any light to work with just the car running. The halos would have more than likely just wired to the parking lights. The lower LED strip should be wired to park if the LEDs are white, or to the turn signal if they are yellow. However if they dont work at all, then they may not have been wired up at all. On the headlight side, see if you can help me with this. With the low beams on, I assume the projectors are on, do the projectors turn off when you go to high beam? I am guessing they do, but just want to confirm with you. They way it should work is to cut power to the low beams with the high beams are on. Confirm a few things for me. On the disconnected connector on the right hand side, if that is in fact the high beam, the wire colors will be Red-White and Red-Yellow, on the left hand side the Red-White will be Red-Light Blue instead. Confirm this for me. Also on the cut wires, I could not tell directly from video, but I think that is your parking circuit, those colors will be White-Black and solid green. If it is green-yellow (right hand side only) then those are turn signal wires, but you are stating those are working. Get me all this info and we can go from here.
