i know its all you see on here but i have a problem that no one seems to have answered... im driving in the dark... i installed the HID kit i got from DDM. its the 6000k slim balast kit. i read through all the HID topics... installed them just like the directions say and even checked how everyone else put theirs in..but they dont fire up?. Everythings wired up correct and i even tried swapping sides on the lights. what should i do... im looking at relays or fuses? but the regular stock lights work fine? im in the dark literally

hmnot sure what you call it but look at the part where the lights hook up to the ballastddm tuning had alot of problems with the plastic part inside the ballast hookup on the wrong side so when you hook them up, they don't match

make sure its correctif not use a knife and just cut off the plastic part

i had the problem 2

(sorry if its a little confusing, i'm bad at describing thing)

ok that kinda makes sense... someone said something similar to that in another post... the fun part is getting back inside the wheel well now is it the part that clicks the ballast to the stock power source?

I had the same issue with the ddm`s not firing up...after scratching my head for about 30 mins...i decided to take the plug that clicks in...and rotate it 180 degrees, then connect it. And it fired up...the only thing is that it doesnt click into place...so i just wrapped some electrical tape around it (i know, sounds pretty ghetto, but i havent had any issues thus far...and its been on for a while now).
