HID's not working.

HID's not working.
I tried to hook my HID's up today. I hooked the black balast wire into the center of the stock harness adaptor. Red wire went into the right side (low beam) of the adaptor. Nothing worked.
I checked the stock harness with my stock bulb. It worked.
Swaped out balasts, still nothing worked.
Swaped out the HID bulbs, once again nothing worked.
I'm stumped and would like my HID's to work.
HID brand is Xentec if that matters any.

I would find it odd that both the ballasts do not work.

Could be possible that you need to flip the connector on the ballast itsself. That chunk of wire that goes between the stock plug and the ballast....flip it around on the ballast. I think my set had to be flipped.
Forgot all about that possibility when we were PMing. lol.

I thought I covered it. idk. i'll edit it in when i do a add-on for the relay harness.
Theres the wire that goes from the stock plug, to the ballst. At the ballast, flip that connector 180degrees. Like I said, i think my set had that little issue.....or it's the set on the subaru. IDR. But flip that connector. Even if the ballast says + and when you put it back together it's mating the + to the -, it'll most likely work.

I can't find the store I got mine from......but linked above is what I suggest. I run one on my headlamps...no issues at all with my fogs, so no need yet. Not only do they tie eachother together, but it also gives you an extra left/right fuse. I have blown a couple left or right headlamp fuses...run the relay harness, when one pops, you've got a spare on hand.

learn from my mistake. dont use your hl's unless absolutley needed untell you install your relay kits. I burnt up both pass side hl and fog light ballasts in a week or so with out relays.. kinda funny we both had pass side issues
ive been waiting like 2 weeks now for my replacement ballasts which "should be here any day". just save your self the hassle

The relay kit will fix that problem man. It's about $20 and 10-15mins for install. Like shane said, when the voltage is applied to the circuit some is lost when one is lit then the other doesn't quite have 12V to ignite the other ballast, causing it not to come on. Minimum to ignite the ballast is 12v. The relay ensures that both ballasts get the 12v they need when the circuit is triggered on.
