So I just got my 35w 5000k Kit in today and I got everything in order, I plug them in to see if they work and what do you know? They dont...I notice that the wires were backwards in the connection hub from the hid wire hareness meaning that the positive was connecting to the negative and vice versa. I was surprised since Ive boughten at least 10 kits for DDM Tuning and never had this problem. So I had to open up the hub and switch the ports that they were in so they would align correctly with the car's connection and now everything works great! The lights look great, I usually get 6000k but this time I wanted less blue hue and went with the 5k. Ill post pictures soon!

this was actually a pretty common problem with the DDMs not too long ago. in the connector there are 2 wires, a black one and a red one. they need to be switched in the little plastic connecting thing in order for it to properly work. the easiest way i found to switch them was to use a toothpick to push back that stupid little plastic tab, pull out the wires, and then switch where they were supposed to be.
