    where did you buy the hids from?

    did you buy a relay harness with it? did it come with one?

    Theres some basic hid wiring diagrams on the internet. I can explain them, but I need to know if you got a harness or not. Alot of times, i have people take a picture of their hid kit, and i will tell you which plug goes where. its pretty simple. I am no electrician and I found it fairly easy my first time doing it. Just don't get intimidated by wiring.

    my kit was plug-n-play basically, it was almost impossible to screw up since the connections only fit into the ones that they needed to go in. you're more or less just replacing the bulbs, but one existing wire will go into a little box, and the wire coming from the box will go to where the existing wire went.

    if that makes any sense at all lol. took me an hour or so. just about everyone here has an HID kit, so you're in good hands haha
    99 GT - top swapped, S2X cam. - sadly, sold
    96 Firebird Formula - T-tops and exhaust leak. 14.26 @ 97.8 - sold
    2008 Chevrolet Cobalt SS - stock, in all of it's turbocharged awesomeness

    I would highly recommend buying a wiring harness, you are only asking for problems if you run the direct plug and play. I've never done anything like this before and it took me a half hour putting in my HID's with a wiring harness triple checking my work because I was sure I did something wrong. Very easy install.
