thanks for the split.

i dunno why it didnt work today though? it must be the dirt or something i guess. ima take a voltmeter and check it out. if it has good readings then there must be something im missing.

im also going to try the driver side tom. if it works there then i know what to do. i think. lol

Im a little confused? Why did you cut up the kit? It's a plug and play system. All you had to do was remove your stock halogen bulbs and then connect a few supplied wires to the ballast and bulb and thats it.

Could you post pics of what it is that you did?

long you didn't get one of the Halo systems did you?

I think he is talking of another kit Uneek. As explained earlier, he was given a relay to use for the passenger side lights only and then run a wire over to the Driver side light.

black IS negative and white positive, it's just that one some HID kits they don't wire the clip correctly and the car's connection is in fact backwards. so you have to remove the wires fromthe clip and switch them (because it only goes in one way).

you're talking about the wires from the hid kit or the wires inside the headlight?
