Default Help,bought hid kit

Mygirlfriend purchased an hid kit for my car and I have no idea how to plug in. Or if I did it right they don't work. Does the original plug that went to the old bulb connect to the ballast or the hid bulb?

If your HID kit is a plug and play kit, it should be pretty simple. Connect the main positive and negative wires for the ballast. The original plug that connects to the old bulb connector should connect to the ballast, and install the new HID bulb in place of the old one. If it doesn't light up when you flip the switch after 3-5 seconds (sometimes the bulbs don't light right away because they have to heat up and operate at a higher temperature), your main plug to the ballast may have crossed positive and negative wires. All you have to do is unplug the main plug that connects to the ballast and flip it around so the plugs go in the opposite way and you should be fine. That's the same thing that happened on my SC. Also, be sure to turn the lights on and off manually. I'm not sure if your setup will be exactly like mine, but with my setup when the lights turn on when I turn the car on, both bulbs don't always light up and I have to turn the lights off and back on again to get both bulbs to light up. Hope that helps and good luck with the HIDs, if your stocks were as dim as mine you'll love the upgrade.
