Default Odd problem with HID Kit 4th Gen

So I bought a HID Kit from Asia and the first kit didn't work, so i figured I got a dud and had it replaced. Got the replacement today and the kit still doesn't work so it can't be coincidence. So, my friend who is an electronic expert says that maybe the connectors are backwards (pins). the odd thing is that the halogen bulbs still work so I'm going to try to install the kit on my friend's mom's Lancruiser to see if the same thing happens and go from there. But I wanted to see if some of the veterens here could offer any tech advice. TIA.

probably got another bad set of HIDs again. The way I've tested out HIDs, was just splice the wires and place them on my battery. Works every time and haven't ran into any problems. Theres only 2 wires (negative & positive)..Have any pics of your HID kit

that may or may not blow something in your kit though.

It's very possible that the pins are backwards, actually I bet that's what it is. I've installed two sets on 4th gen jdm H4's and they were wired up completely differently both times, I have no idea why. try switching it around.

Did the HID kit come with a fuse?

Watch out for reversed polarity.

Do you want the euro lights that look like altezza or the real thing? Because I got a IS300 tail lights but I lost the 2 little ones, so I just got the main tail light.
