Anyone manage to succesfuly install the DDM HID wiring harness in their car?

I for the life of me cannot get the wiring harness they gave me to work in this car. The lights work fine on the stock harness other than a little flicker on start up but id really prefer to have the DDM one installed. This is the only instructions they provide and i must've tried every possible combination of it to no avail. Im begging you guys please help, google isnt helping.

The lights not working with the DDM plugs at all? I had to plug in my factory connector backwards into the DDM ballast to get them to work on my truck. For some reason they ran off a reverse polarity from my stock plugs.

you dont need the wiring harness, its really meant for older cars or cars with electronic systems which monitor if your headlights are out or if you have DRL's...

the ddm wiring harness has crappy fuses and relays, ive had 2 harnesses in different cars go out on me because the relays and fuses went bad.

if i wasnt so lazy and replaced the components it woulda been fine haha but I havent had a problem plugging in the hid kits into the stock wiring
