While the following YouTube is a good primer ...
don't expect that the relay wiring harnes to be exactly the same.
In the case of the motoControl relay wiring harness from allstarautolightsmichigan (also sold by TRS) the wiring was MUCH shorter than in the video. Though was (IMO) a MUCH HIGHER QUALITY offering/product.
MEANING: You will need to adjust how, where, etc. you route the wiring and where to place the grounds and rectifier. e.g.

MEANING: You will need to adjust how, where, etc. you route the wiring and where to place the grounds and rectifier. e.g.
- grounds - Use the 2 empty holes in the radiator support / header panel and self-taping bolts to attach the ground wires. *There isn't enough wire to attach to the pre-existing ground point on the backside.
. - rectifier - *ERROR* due to wiring length limitations and the connector's rigid sheathing, installed it upside-down and slid the mounting tab under the headlight housing's mount so that it's held in place by the mount's bolt. *RH (passenger) side.
REVISION - due to wiring length limitations and the connector's rigid sheathing, the sheathing was bent in-half and zip-tied to allow for mounting the rectifier with the mounting tab upright. This will reduce the possibility of water intrusion. *RH (passenger) side.
. - rounting LH (driver) wiring - ran it under the upper air deflector (flexible plastic piece on top of the radiator support / header panel) by popping the 2 front push-pins that hold it in place. *Push-pins were re-useable.

PostScript installation footnote *REVISED*
Due to a "heads-up" from a F-150 forum member, the mounting position and orientation of the rectifier has be changed so that the mounting tab is ^UP^. Mounting it upright (rather than upside-down) reduces the possibility of water intrusion and resulting premature failure.

Looks great! How much did you spend total? (if you don't mind me asking) I want HIDs on my truck but I am torn between getting the OEM lights or just getting all of my bulbs converted to HIDs, High Low and my fog lights. There is a place here in Anchorage that can do all of them for about $900 total.
