Help!!!!!! Lighting(UPDATED) Finally installed (PICS)

just installed an hid kit on my car wired the ground to the cars ground behind the drivers headlight, and the hot to the fuse box, it was a plug and play kit connected everything exactly as it says and no light any suggestions

THE PROBLEM: It was a plug and play kit and they had the ground and the power swapped, and the connector tip was loose now it is hardwired and corrected.

just the kind that would come with it, so you wired the red cable directly to your batter, plugged in to your stock headlight plug in and grouded it?

i wired it to the jumper on the front of the fuse box unscrewed it and connected it underneath kinda hard to wire to the battery in the trunk! plugged it into the harness (little blue plug) and grounded it to the ground behind the headlight

bump!

yeah that all sounds right, before you said just fuse box so i wasnt sure if you meant the batt terminal in the fuse box, but that all sounds good... all you ballast connections are all secure? i know its sounds really stupid but did you turn your car on?

yes i turned it on and an even turned my auto lights off so that the drls wouldnt try and come on, and then moved the switch up to turn on the side markers and they come on and then up one more position to get the headlights to come on and nothing!

k so i would unplug the addapter (that plugs the relay into your stock bulb harness) and make sure none of the prongs are bent, next i would make sure all the ballast wiring is solid, sometime the adapters for the ballasts need to be pushed in more firm then the rest.....i would unplug everything and plug it back in, if that fails and there is no fuses blown, return the product as you must have the wrong ballasts/relays/ect

from what ive read is that it is a plug and play kit it was a combination between the adapter piece from the harness to the factory lighting and they had the positive with the negative and vice versa. morons deffinetly not plug and play the adapter piece or blue piece when plugged in made bad connection so that got cut off and hardwired and flipped the plugs.

but it all works and looks great with my new black painted headlights!
