    Ok I bought a hid off ebay and I installed it last night. When I start the car and turn on the headlights they dont turn on. I wired in both grounds and the positive to the wire that goes to the fuel box under the hood. I took a power probe 3 to make sure I was getting good grounds and they are good. I pulled the fues for the DRL as i found out they can be a problem for HID's. What I found to be a bit strange is that the kit only plugs into one headlight harness and not both. but I seen some youtube videos with that same set up and they work just fine. Oh I also tryed some different ballasts too and still nothing. I have no idea what the problem is. From what I know the ground wire on the 9007 set up is in the center and the high beam is on the right of it with looking at it with the flat part down so the low beam would be to the right. Well any info on what im doing wrong or anything to get the hid's working in my car would be great. I have a 1998 GP GT if you didnt already figger it out. Thanks

    Are you sure your headlight breaker hasn't shut off, also have you tried regular lights just to make sure currents passing?

    By headlight breaker do you mean headlight switch? Because I turn them on with the switch insted of letting them come on with the auto senser. And once I found out that they wern working I changed it back to th regular bulbs so I can drive my car at night and yes they work just fine that way. Its just the hid kit isnt working. And have no idea why.

    Try to flip the wires. I know when i put my HIDs into my projectors the positive and negative wires looked like they were switched from the stock light plug.
