ha ha, i had a similar problem when i was installing mine took me a while to figure out but basically you have to splice in the ground wire that is on the inside of the foglight as well, cut it in the middle...then have the female connector go to its stock place and add in a new female connector...something like that i will check again for you later when i stop by my car

[fatal1]

hope that helped for now though, basically you have to keep the small stock wire to its mounting point and wire it into that

[fatal1]

basically yes from what i can see in the pic... although i remember having to splice into the middle of that wire using a female connector and from that, you plug the hid bulb ground in

I gave my friend my HID's when i got a new kit and he had to do the same, he switched out the pos and neg and it worked. hopefully that works. try switching ballasts also and see if you have a bad ballast.

ok the stock plastic cap you do not need, i was refering to the male stock ground on the back of teh actual headlight, you can rip off that plug on the back of the cap and frill a hole to stick in that rubber seal from the hid bulb

i did a little paint diagram for you hope it helps , you are sort of in the right track though

theya re correct though it is possible that the polarities on the bulb are reverse labeled, after wiring it up right, if it doesnt work try switching the wires and see if that works

[IceDouTGaLanT]

Thanks guys, yea craig your way was correct. but like drone n shadow said it was the fucking wires!!! lol the negative was blue wtf and the pos was black coming out the ballast.. thanks alot guys i really appreciate all the help

No idea bro, whish I could help you out.

[fatal1]

cool glad i could help and you got it working, sometimes with the cheaper hids they put the wrong colors

[IceDouTGaLanT]

Now I need to make sure their level at night..

[fatal1]

yea the fogs are h3's, the corners can take hids but i wouldnt use it as a blinker, they will just blow if you want to use them as dual fogs or something then it would take some rewireing and you would have to figure a way to hold the bulb in place

nice,
