Default headlight issue

so one of my headlights went out last week and i figured it was the bulb so i ordered new ones from js2k.com. went to go change it out and this is what i find.



sorry for the bad iphone photo. but apparently the wires fell down and have been rubbing on the tire. i tried fixing it up and then the headlight would flicker on that one side. also for the duration of the flickering, the high beam bulbs would turn on but be dim.

i for the life of me can't seem to figure out the problem.

just match the wires... you should be good. shrink wrap them and tuck the wire real good so it doesnt rubb..
