I can't get my projectors to turn on at all i have it all hooked up and it had power and ground. There no low or high. What did you mean by switching wires i thought that was only to get highs also and since i dont have anything idk what else to try. and you sent me a fog hid kit that doesnt work.

the connector from bulb to ballast is fine but the connector to hook the relay to the original is both male hookups so im lost.

its user error if you have nothing working...also the fogs if your using the relay harness the 2 pins from the relay harness plug into your stock harness. the "male" plug plugs into your ballasts..

99% of people had bad grounds. Make sure you use the one that bolts the fendor to the car, Its just near the rubber stopper for the hood.

99% of all these errors are because something is wired incorrectly or left unplugged.

If your stock connector isnt crap/shot, they are wedged in between the prongs. throw some tape around them to protect them. im going on 2 years without issues with them.

Mounted my halos to a switch so it's cool to turn them on when I feel like it.

and for those still needing help for the passenger side ground I just added wire and put it where the driver side goes

All projectors have a cutoff. Some may differ in shape but there designed to shine a tad bit higher on the right side to keep the light out of on comming drivers. Dont forget you can raise them with your stock adjuster in your headlights

^if you look at the pins there's a little tab that's keeping it from going out. Push those down and it should pull right out. It should be the blue and white ones to switch
