    even with the rubber boot things on there the stock wiring harness clicks right in but before i think i had to bend one of the little prongs inside the ballast itself to make the harness connect? im not really sure what is going on hid's are a very simple concept that ive installed in a few different vehicles and never had this issue before

    Ok well you have to do some electrical diagnostics.

    Did you use stock wires or add the harness and relay? That's the best way to do it IMHO but to each his own. Even if you didn't at first, I would do it now. But check your grounds too, remove them, look under the point where's it is on melt and make sure It's got good contact, if you used the harness and relay, make sure the relay is pulling when you turn lights on. Lastly, if you used stock wiring, test the voltage you're getting where you connect the ballast, they do have operate tolerances and if the wiring is damaged, pinched or whatever, maybe you're not getting proper voltage at connection point. Stock bulbs will tolerate that, but not the ballasts...

    Just a few thoughts that might help.
