DDM HID wiring help

I just did my DDM install over the weekend and it was extremely easy. Looks like you are missing the relay harness.

Did you order the hi/low beam feature? My bulbs had a small connector that connected to the harness to power the high beam. Yours look different than mine. And my relay harness had the connector for the pass side OEM headlight plug (green plug) that triggered the relay to power the HID's after install.

I just installed my DDM kit today also and was super easy. Everything works but the high beams now. I have the Hi/Low harness with the high beam trigger but it is not working. The low beams work great but as soon as you pull the stock to put high beams on the lights go out completely and I can't hear the bulbs being pulled in for highs. Am I missing something? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

The original DDM one crapped out on me. I was originally using it in my 2012 F-150 and then put it in the JK and clicked a couple times then the lights didnt work at all. So I bought a new one last week, put it in, and now I have the high beam problem. I will call the company tomorrow and see if I can get another if that is the problem.

I'VE BEEN THROUGH TWO OF THE CRAPPY DDM HI/LOW RELAY HARNESSES. THEY WORK PERFECT FOR A WHILE AND THEN OUT OF NOWHERE.....NO LIGHTS. LAST WEEKEND, I COMPLETELY REMOVED THE DDM HI/LOW RELAY HARNESS AND WIRED IN MY OWN 40 AMP RELAYS. I USED 4 RELAYS TOTAL. ONE FOR LOW BEAM, ONE FOR HIGH BEAM, ONE FOR THE "ACTUATORS" ON THE BULBS FOR HIGH BEAM, AND 1 TO TURN ON THE FOGS AUTOMATICALLY WHEN ON HIGH BEAM. I USED 470uf CAPACITORS ON EACH RELAY TO TAKE CARE OF THE "BUZZING" RELAY ISSUE THAT THE CHRYSLER CANBUS SYSTEM WILL CAUSE. EVERYTHING WORKS PERFECTLY...
ON A SIDE NOTE.....I HAVE AN IDENTICAL DDM KIT IN MY WIFE'S MAZDA THAT'S BEEN TROUBLE FREE FOR OVER TWO YEARS WITH THE SAME HIGH/LOW RELAY HARNESS. MY PERSONAL OPINION IS THEIR HIGH/LOW RELAY CAN NOT HANDLE THE CANBUS PULSING AND OVER TIME THEY WILL FAIL....

Same boat, I am done with HID's pain in the @$$, went back to IPF reliable and simple. All that wiring always made me nervous, its not meant to be in the jeeps stock electrical system

This is what the kit and the ballast by itself and bulb portion by itself look like
