Installed HID Kit off eBay and didn't work..help??

[Casutherland42]

I just purchase an HID headlight and foglight kit off eBay and plugged the negative connector to the left pin and the positive connector to the top middle pin (low beam). Did I do all this correct or no?

Please help!!

i dont know. You can either google your particular headlamp socket diagram and look at a drawing, or find out yourself using a multimeter.

You should have picked up a Harness while you were buying the HID kit, it makes it much simple and easier.

Also why didn't you picked up the Bi-Xenon instead because the ones you bought are a single bulb there for loosing your High beams.
Unless you live in the city then you don't need high beams.

Truthfully because I cannot afford bi-xenon. I am returning this hid kit and repurchased a xentec hid kit online. Hoping that this one is better. Read online that these are pretty good for the money. Is this wiring harness pretty good? What exactly does it do?

Depending on where you live, you may need high beams to pass inspection.

Why do I need a relay harness?

Some vehicles might be able to power up HID systems normally without problems at install time. It will probably not last long. The inrush load can be up to max 13 amps per ballast, compared to 7amps inrush when using halogen. The factory design parameters for headlight circuits are 7 amps inrush and 4.5 amps continuous load. So over time, connectors, multifunction switch, headlight switch, wiring and fuse holders will slowly degrade, because of heat buildup. These components are very time consuming to troubleshoot because they are usually well hidden behind dashboards and other wiring looms. Parts can cost several hundred dollars and add 8h labor to that and it becomes obvious that a $18 to $25 wiring harness is a cheap insurance.
