WTF !!!!



I wish I had never bought these ******* things.

Ok

I have the kit here. I hooked it all up the way the diercetions say and nothing. The stock passenger light comes on but nothing from the HID.

I tried both units, both ballasts. Swapped the plugs, Tried the poalrity adjuster. Still nothing.



The kit says to swap out the originla fues with the new 20amp that is provided. I dont even know what size fuse this is. I have never seen a fuse like this before. I checked the fuse panel though ( i dont see why taht would matter seeing as how the pass side works fine with the stock ****) Anyway all my fuses are fine.



So wtf?





Do I just chalk this one up as a $350 loss?

Oh It does make a mention about needing a relay for cars with the battery in the rear.

Mine is in the bins.

Anybody know anything about that?

I dont really want to spend any more cash towards this since I dont think I will ever be able to get these to work in my car.

does the ballast make a buzzing/humming sound? thats a sign that the ballast is working. if that is working, then there is no reason why you're not getting light.....



report that bastard to paypal and get your money back!!

No sounds at all.

I am assuming that maybe I just need a relay switch or something?



Anyway this blows.

No, I got all pissed off and lost my train of thought.

I will do that tomorrow to check and make sure that they work.
