Question Damage other than blown fuse ???

hi
I'm replacing the headlight

This wire pair (Balck & Red) (connector removed) powers the HID unit
(Inverter)
pictured here:

I test-plugged to the HID unit.

Unknowingly the wires were in REVERSE position, so HID didn't come on
and the fuse (15A) was blown.

Have I done any damage to the car, wires or HID ?

thanks

I'm not sure exactly what you did but I connected the wires for my bi-xenon retrofit backwards and the fuse blew luckily that's all I damaged. Most likely if the fuse blew then that should be all that's damaged.

should just be the fuse - that's what it's there for...
