Try turning the connector around. The part that comes from the ballast and plugs into your OEM harness. I had to do that and so have others.

i just installed my ddm tunning kit and had to do the same thing the others were saying...turned the connecter plug the other way and it worked. then just zip tied it so it stays connected for sure

I recommend MTEC from Steve at Onspire (steve@onspire.com). I've had them for three years for both lows and fogs. Only had a problem when some rain shorted the ballast, but that was my fault. Great customer service too. I got the 6000K color. It's pretty much pure white, more cool in temp than 5000Ks.

I've done quite a few kits on on many cars from ddmtuning to xenondepot to xentec to other brands I can't remember. But all and I mean ALL the connectors had to be turned around. I wonder why is that? As long as it works I guess.
