I hooked it up both with the polarity adjuster and without.

I got nothing. I am lost. I did it like it instructed and the lights got no juice.

I dont know why but they will not power up.

although, its not recommended to have the ballast and the wires facing down for some reason, maybe thats why its not working?

That crossed my mind too Rob. I did touch them to metal just to see what would happen and I got nothing.

I dunno, I think Jay is on the right path and you are overlooking

go over the basics again, maybe something is wrong.

I hear that. I just rechecked everything.

I even just wired them up to a battery and still nothing.



I think i am getting ripped off.

I will try them on another battery. I already sent the guy a "nice" email about it.

I already had wprds with him about sending me the wrong ones the first time.

He is not helpful at all.

I hate HID's
