i tried searchin but couldnt find anything relevant..
i usually pay this guy i know ta throw HIDs in for me but after lookin at the kit, it looked pretty damn simple to me....it all looks plug and play but im just unsure about one part....i see how everythings hooked up to the bulb but where do the red and black (im guessin ground?) wires that are in the 2nd n 3rd pics go?? and is there anything else that i may need to do for the install?
It just a simple plug and play. Plug the red wire into the positive terminal on the headlight harness. Plug the black into the negative terminal on the headlight harness.

Are you sure you plugged the wires in correctly? Did you plug in the harness on the ballast correctly? In your picture it looks like you have it plugged in the wrong way.

i have one kit like that for the headlights... but mine have the 9006 female plug for the bulbs..
make sure that you connect it the right way in the balast and the plug... the balast should say where is the positive and/or negative... and for connect it to the plug... just look for the black wire, that will be your negative wire...

If I understand you right you just plugged in the headlight harness from the car into the ballast? If so you're just lucky because most ballasts use the style plug. Unfortunately not all cars have the same wiring harness. The harness with the red and black leads allow different cars to interface with the ballast. It also provides you some slack in the wires to give you better mounting options.

nah i plugged those red and black leads into the headlight harness, but what you said MAYY actually fit and work..ill take a look at it tomorrow
dont know if you can plug the balast directly to the bulb plug... but i would stay with that wires... they have better water proof than the bulb plug... IMO... and off course better mounting options

ya then the ballast and harness would be too close to each other..the wires at least give me some play..i thru em in 5000k low beams...looks great...perfect white..no yellow, barely ne blue......jus ordered 3000ks for the fogs from the same ebay seller for $48 shipped haha...aka durt
dont know why it changed... it shoud say P.R. (Puerto Rico)
o aight ...ya prob but not sure..u want the ebay link? price is 64 shipped in US tho...n i dono y..but it seems like the live.com discount mite b gone...i gota double chek
I have 5 different ballasts and none of them seem to work at all... Plz check this situation to make sure that I am not actually going crazy.
The bulb (i've tried 6 bulbs) flickers on for a second and does not begin to get any brighter. I have actually cut off the stock lightbulb harness and spliced together the ballast wires to stock headlight wires. Still the same response from any of the bulbs or ballasts. Next, considering the possibility that the stock wires may not be providing enough power, I broke the splice to connected the ballast directly to the battery. It did exactly the same thing and now I am upside down without any ideas.

Please tell me that I'm missing something here...
the bulbs are new?
do they look like if they have a cloud (something white) or like a smoke (something gray) about in the middle?
What seller did you buy from? I want to get some 3000k HIDs for my JDM fogs i just ordered. They use H3C bulbs right? Any brands that you would recommend?
