If im not mistaking it goes as followed:
Low beam (hot)-----Spare wire--(solder)--Resistor 8ohm 20w--(solder)--spare wire---Ground to frame or body
BOTH SIDES
Hids will only work with the current flowing the right way so if you get a flickering, then look to see what pin is RED on the kit and that should be your low beam hot.
A resistor is just like the filiment in your original light bulb, it just doesnt put off light

I really appreciate the help guys, I am not an electrical genius by any means. I do however have some mechanical background to me and could really just use a picture to compare too. Thanks for the help everyone
