What kit did you buy?

You'll need to be more specific when asking questions.

i did my HIDS a different way. you should have a ballast which has two connections, 1. should be from the ballast connecting to the bulb and 2. should be the ballast conncted and wired to your positive and negetive stock bulb wire. I cut my old connections so that all that was left was the red and black. i then connected those two wires to the red and black wire from the ballast. after that, it should work.
