Default HID wire tuck problem

I'm just about finished with a mild wire tuck, but ran into a problem. I extended the wires for the ballast and now the HID isn't working. Everything else works but the HIDs. Signals, corner lights, and signals work fine but the HID seems dead. Everything is plugged in correctly. Has anyone ever ran into this problem or try this and succeed with working HIDs? All the grounded is ground also.

hi, did you extend the HID cables by cutting into the wire of the HID ballast? We have HID extension cables up to 3 ft. that are fully plug and play.

Well my relay just came in and still doesn't work. All I did was just the black and red wire from the HIDs and extended with 18g wires down to my seat where I planned on hiding the ballast. Look at the pictures.

If anyone else knows the problem, let me know! This is pissing me off. Don't want to buy new HIDs. There has to be someone who ran into this problem and solved it.
