where did you get the kit? Should just be plug and go. Check the connection at the headlight harness for power on both low and highbeams and make sure they're all good and you have power there. Then trace the HID harness to make sure it's wired correctly and everything is grounded properly.

I got the kit from third gear performance. They did work I had a problem with a ballast so I took them out and now my headlights don't work at all and The auto on feature doesn't work the fogs. I will check tomorrow to see if it's a fuse or relay it's strange everything else works except headlights
