I bought these new headlights https://www.headlightsdepot.com/2006...nger-side.html and they do not give and instructions on how to wire them. I have a 2008 dodge ram 3500HD with a 6.7 Cummins . Does anyone know how to wire these headlights ? I'm pulling my hair out !
It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!

I took a look at the pictures and can only see a plug with what appears to be two wires. If that is the case, then one wire is negative and the other is positive. Are they identified negative or positive? The site has contact info, so why not contact them and ask them how to do it?
Once you get them working, let us know the results. I am curious if the computer in your truck will accept the load and not show a lamp out or something else. Will you need a ballast resister? Ask the supplier.
Looking at the web site, the 2 wire set appears to be for parking turn lights, Looking at the view from the back side the round hole is for the high low bulb, doesn't appear to be there as it is a three wire set up, I would call and talk to tech. support,,
There support guy said that the regular bulb connects in the hole and the other wires are to be connected to running lights. He said to wire them like this picture .

If I understand this correctly, you connect all 3 red wires together and then all 3 white wires. The white wires go to ground and then you need to find the signal light wire in the loom and connect the red wires to that wire. If this true, then wonder why the factory did not splice them and just leave one wire for the customer to connect? Sounds a but strange, so would check again with the techie.
Wonder why two of the red wires are 'spliced'? Or is that a resistor hidden under the shrink tube? Why is a resistor necessary if they feed incandescent bulbs? Another thing that looks strange to me.

Just got the instructions in the box with the lights thank god . They look pretty easy and I will install them Tomorrow afternoon after I get off work . I'll take pics of the lights and my new grille and post them .
Ok i got the headlights installed and the passenger side was easy. The driver side i had to use a heat gun and heat the windshield washer fluid holder up and bend it so the headlight would fit. The wiring was easy and they work good.
Ok I followed the instructions 100% and the halo's and led lights don't light up but the rest work. The regular and high beams work and the turn signals work but the halo and led do not light up. Does anyone have any idea why ? I think they gave a red and black wire wich I wired into the turn signal but the plug that is for 2006 has a red and black wire also if you turn the plug on the back it shows the red and black wires. Should I connect those wires with the other red and black wires that go to the turn signal ?
