once more not a happy hid ending
Put on my new control box and my hids didn't work. Swapped ballists around and heard it click but lights still didn't come on. Any suggestions for troubleshooting etc? Thanks

What "kit" did you buy? It would help if we knew who made them, if they are using factory wiring plugs, etc.
Is the wiring supposed to plug into the factory wiring harnesses for the headlights? Did you have to wire anything else, such as power or ground(s)?
There's a lot of cheap kits on Ebay; search on "HID" here and you'll see you're not the only one that has trouble making their HID's work. Some are good (cost more), some stink. Let's hope you did not get a kit that fits the latter.
