HIDs are tricky, your model year usually requires resistors to make them work properly.

Probably something like this

I bought those and put them on and they still don't work, they will flash three times and then go out.

I don't know what you mean about making sure it is grounded it is all plug and play and the harness with the load resistors is also plug and play, so im not sure what you mean about making sure it is grounded.
Danial im not sure what you mean about which ones they are the black housing with projectors and a lighted eye brow and halos and they are hid projectors.

The resistors need a solid connection on both hot and ground or they will not work like they should. Do the resistors get hot to the touch at all with the engine off and Low beams on?

I have had a resistor harness that was wired up incorrectly. They had the hot side and ground side tied in together on both resistors and both harnesses. That was never going to work ha. Although rare, that would be something to check.

that is the harness i got for my lights Danial and when the lights are on and the truck off only one of the resisters is getting hot the other one stays cold on both sides. Thanks speedy for the help and you too Danial.
