Default H4 wiring to h7 dual headlight

Hello members of the forum! I'll try to explain all of this as best as possible, as I'm new to the forum and am still learning about my motorcycle. Long story short I'm swapping the front fairing with an f4i and as you know it is a dual headlight. So upon reading other forums and doing other research, I purchased a set of single filament hid kits. They are meant to be installed on an f4i and i need to adapt them to my h7 (three prong) headlight harness. The kit I bought comes with a seperate harness run from the battery inline with a relay and has 2 ballasts. I intend on running split head lights so long as it doesn't wreak havoc on the charging system. Any kind of help or insight is greatly appreciated and thank you for reading.

Of the three wires, use one for high beam, one for low beam, and split the third (ground) to each light. You can consult the wiring diagram to figure out which wire is for which light.

thats what I attempted to do but it seems no matter hos I hook it up nothing happens. The hid kit harness connects to the battery, runs through a relay, and there is a section of wire the conmects the factory harness to the hid harness. I can't get any loghts to come on no matter how I hook it up. I'm stumped snd could use any help available. I can also post any pictures that might help determine my issue.

Make sure you have power at the stock connector

got it all squared away, turns out to be simply a greasy connector on the switch pod
