Default Hids for fog light question

Hi all I've tried searching for this but I tried to install a set of Hids to my fogs but they won't power up its just the plug and play type of kit. Question is do I need to get a power wire and relay for the ballast to make it work or is there another way to make this plug and play work without that harness? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Should work without a relay harness. Make sure the polarity is correct when you plug it in.

Yup, it's plug and play. Usually its a polarity issue if they don't work. Just switch the plug around. It could also be a bad ballast or bulb.

I wouldn't suggest just "flipping" the connector. You want to physically remove the terminals form the connector housing, and alter their position. This way ensures that the connector gets properly locked into place when you connect to your OEM wiring.
