check wiring - then try swap just the ignitors, then try swaping just the ballasts, then try swaping the bulbs

someone also told you to check the wiring, and try swapping the ignitors, ballasts, and bulbs.

well you should have said that....obviously its you stock harness

did your lights worked before you installed HIDs?

I have a spare engine bay harness (lights a/c etc...) for 96-00 civic - let me know if you want to buy it...cheap

EDIT you can try splicing the wires but I doubt the problem is in your plug for that headlight
