Do the same on the other side and it should be plug and play. Mine was and there was no error light as well.

Thanks guys, but where do I place the ballast, should I screw it or use the double-sided tape in positioning it.

Also, do I have to disconnect the batteries from the terminals before I plug the h.id.s in to avoid being shocked or burned by high voltage thats emitted from the ballasts, and where do I stash all those wires. Thanks for the assistance.

you can do either with the ballasts.
While you dont HAVE to disconnect the battery, in theory it would be better to do so - but you dont HAVE to... they lights arent going to come on and shock you if you have the switch turned to the off position.
wires just zip tie and put up in the same area they shouldn't be visible
