Default Having problems with HIDs on a Civic Si 07'

I bought some Hids for my 2007 Civic Si but they don't work. The bulb size is the same as my Silverado so I tried them on there and it worked fine. So I know that nothing is wrong with the kit. So I'm wondering if there is something special that I need to get to make them work.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Things like telling everyone what HID kit you have tend to get you answers quicker. Good luck.

It's a RetroTek HID kit. Like I said before, I don't know if anybody had problems like this.

I've never heard of anyone getting a ticket for $2000 for having hids on their car, my guess is they would most likely give you a repair order. And sorry if I can't help with the HID problem.

Make sure that the connections are pushed in all the way.

The connections are all good. Do you guys think that I'll need a relay?

use a relay on each ballast. have the stock headlight wiring switch them on but power them directly from the battery. make sure you fuse the power wire.

good luck

Check and make sure it's not blowing fuses, I bought a HID kit from someone and it didn't come with the plug that I'm guessing lowers the wattage, and blew about 4 10A's and I thought the kit wasn't working. I would check your fuses, if those are blown, there's your answer...
