I had this same problem.... Take the plug that goes into the OEM light and turn it around so it goes in the 'not easy way' and push. The polarity is set incorrectly for that pin config. So if you just flip it around they will work just fine!

what you need to do is switch the polarity of the pins in the connector after that if will work for sure.

You just need a wiring harness. I had this same problem when I first installed my HID's. Once I installed the wiring harness the lights started right up.

it's because our cars runs on reverse polarity so that's why it didn't work at first.
glad to see that we helped you solved your problem
