I've installed mostly everything from my HID kit the only thing im having trouble with is where to connect the + wire??? I have my - wire grounded and ive seen the + wire being connected to the fuse box post but the end will not fit over the post!!

Im stuck and have no idea what to do.. where else could to connect the + wire to??

you can unscrew that post then place the wire below, then tighten it back..

Use a 10mm wrench and undo the post, slide ring onto stud then re-install post.

the kit is 9007 bi-xenon and came with 2 ballasts, 2 bulbs, a relay harness and another harness which I dont know if I use that, the relay harness, or both any ideas?

Heres a pic of the "other harness".. i think? Hope this helps

BUY HID's

Seriously dude? Everyone's willing to help, but I'm sure your kit came with instructions. Did you read ANY of them?

Everything you need should be on our installation pages, including pictures.

no, only the red wire hooks up to the post. That metal ring is a mounting point on the relay if you wanna screw it into something.

the instructions are not as easy as you think infact they're complicated as hell..and i'll admit i dont know much about this so any advice gets me that much closer.

one last question do you use the relay harness along with the basic harness that comes with the kit?

thanks

UPDATE: everything is installed.. turned the car on and the lights did not come on but when I held the lever for "flashing the high-beams" back, the lights turned on and that was the only way they would turn on. Also, when you turn the high beams on by pushing the lever ahead, the lights don't turn on either and the high beam light on the dash dislplay does not appear like it should.

What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: only the right bulb turns on while doing that, no action in the left bulb

same problem as i did and some others,
the wires are place in the wrong slots.
change bulbs side if one turns on and another doesn't. happened to me. i even had to change ballasts from side to side.

Almost same problem here
