Alpine hid kit , please help

Have 2 ballasts and an extra black box and jumper that connects to drivers side... I'm assuming the short jumper plugs into factory power and the black box is connected to ballast outside the headlight if anybody has any idea it would be greatly appreciated...

I watched these videos, I know the black jumper with only a connection on 1 end goes to factory power.... Then the black box I'm assuming is a resistor hooks up to ballast outside the headlight??

Exactly .
I've also the Alpine HID's for over 2 years now , they are the brightest out there !
Very good amount of light and even visible in daylight ...others don't !
Make sure that the headlight covers are properly closed by the wires , otherwise you will get moisture inside the headlights when washing with high pressure water washer !
What is K (kelvin) quantity of your light bulbs ?
