Flip the plug from your stock harness to the ballast. It really doesn't matter which one, but that's just the easy one.
Ok so I flipped around the stock 9006 connector that went into the relay and my hid's now work. Question though, when I turn them on they seem to flicker for a second and then get bright. Also when I have my headlights on now my rear tail lights won't light up and my blinkers don't blink but stay light solid. I don't understand what I did wrong, it's not like wiring these up is complicated at all 
Any ideas?

HIDs don't just turn on instantly. They have a warm-up period. They pop on and then slowly get brighter.

No clues here.
I think it may have something to do with the ground wire that grounds to the frame. I was having trouble with it when I put the bed back on a few weeks ago. I just was wondering if someone else had a similar experience

Alright, I wasn't sure if I should put this here or the stupid questions thread, but I got a couple questions for you guys. First, I was looking at getting this -> http://www.ddmtuning.com/Products/DDM-HID-Kit-Slim-Ballast-35W-or-55W in a 35w, with 5000ks. I've got projectors for low beams, and then just reflective backed for high beams (I can post a close-up pic of my housings if you need me to).
I want to have HID's for both Highs/Low beams, so with this kit, would I need more bulbs?
Also, I'm looking at doing that relay so all 4 lights stay on when I switch to highs, I can do that with these, right? I would just need the relay?
It's a '95, so would I need that other relay or not? I saw you guys were talking about how some of the old ones were different from the newer ones.
Thanks for your help.

I'd recommend 4500K, but that's not your question.
1 kit = 1 pair. So, if you want all 4 lights done, you'll need 2 kits.
The hi-4 relay is not the same thing as the relay harness sold by DDM. The DDM relay harness draws the power for the HIDs directly from the battery instead of through the truck's wiring harness. It gives a direct and cleaner power supply for the ballasts. It's recommended, but many get away with not using one. This does NOT give you hi-4. For that you'll have to go somewhere else to buy your hi-4 relay.

Wow, thanks 1bad, you've been a lot of help with these. I got the housings I have currently due to breaking my stock ones, never really looked into HIDs before, that's why so many questions. 
Yeah, I've seen that you like your 4500k, but I'm thinking I'll try the 5000k first, and if I don't like it, then I'll just change bulbs when they go. Thanks for your help, clears things up a lot. I'll post pics up when I get it done. 
DDM tuning has dual in/dual out for the slim HIDs that I posted up earlier. Would that mean I could do all 4 lights with just 2 ballasts? And 9006 are the bulb types I need, right?

5000K is OK. The first 2 sets of HIDs I bought were 5000K. Mostly because that's as white as the seller I bought from carried. They're in my CTS foglights and the lows on my '91. They are tons brighter and whiter than stock halogens, but the first HIDs I ever drove with were my CTS's OEM HIDs at 4300K. Compared to them, 5000K was just too blue. When it came time for some HIDs for my Suburban, I went with 4500K and am happy for it.
Yes. The HID bulbs themselves are the same no matter what bulb type you order for, but the bases and plugs are keyed according to the bulb type you order. For your highs you'll need 9005 bulbs and for the lows whatever your projectors take (I know most aftermarket projectors don't use the stock 9006 lowbeam bulbs).
