this kit is for a H4 and as you see in the pick i am left with a black and white wire,, should they be hooked to the weather proof connector coming from the bulb,, at first i thought that the relay part of the harness was not to be used,, but after some reading, im thinking that it being a hi/lo set up(halogen/xenon) that the relay must be incorparated,, please any help would be great,, the 3 prong plug is to be attached into the harness once unpluged from the existing headlight bulb.. thanx Vic if the pic doesnt post please allow me to send pics to an email just send me your email and i can forward the pics,, they are closeups and good shots so we should be able to fix this problem.. thanx againhttps://www.printroom.com/_vti_bin/ViewImage.dll?...

everything looks straight forward. plug the bike hanress in, Connect red wire with Fuse to constant 12v, Ground BLACK wire. the Connector with the Black to Black and White to RED. the WHITE AND BLACK wires can go to either polarity since those wires trigger 85 and 85 of the relay (coils)
