i'm connecting A to C B to D E to F and F to the original brown bit that blugs into the bulb. I tried both ballasts / bulbs but get nothing, not eever a fuse pop or a worrying burning smell. Ive tried the orriginal bulb again and thats fine.

sorry to ask again mate but who did you get them through?

[paul_y3k]

xenon-driect via ebay ... a few people used him i think so all seemeed good.

have you connected the HID to the original harness to get the on/off signal.

Also, you most remove the bulp from the redundant light on the opposite side.

I didn't do this and it didn't work.
Second I removed the old bulb BINGO! The HIDS worked

[paul_y3k]

the hid was connected via the extenion lead to the brown original harness.
i din't remove the bulb on the passenger light as i was working on the drivers one .... I'll give that a go now then ....

Hope it helps.

If not, check against this diagram

[SupraStar 3000]

Its 'E' which you need to connect to the car.

I cut off 'F' and 'G' as I didn't use them

[SupraStar 3000]

Another idea.

Are you sure your cars battery is fully charged.

If the HIDs don't get a good 12v they won't come on.

[paul_y3k]

ok tried that and still no luck,
I'm looking at your ddiagram and Its confusing me ffurther lol !
comparing my pics to yours .. you have a lot more wires than me !

[SupraStar 3000]

humm,.. to be honest its pretty straight forward mate.

Are yours the same as the kits shown in my diagram?

[paul_y3k]

lol thats what i thought !
different kit to yours as well though

[Dragonlady]

Are your fogs plug the same as the side lights plug (both go into a 3 pin socket)?

[SupraStar 3000]

darn it! :(

Fuse?
Did you put a fuse in the holder and is it ok?

[Ric]

try turning the power plug on the ballast the other way round.

i really dont see how this is sooooo hard to warrent all the threads lately.

The bulb parts A+B goto C+D and the original plug in your car goes to the ballast E

I never used the f/g cable.

[Dragonlady]

Haver you done your dipped yet?

[SupraStar 3000]

Checked the plugs are tight?

[Dragonlady]

I have done both took some working out but looks good.

paul, not having a lot of luck mate, it is bound to be something simple :)

[paul_y3k]

ok .. tried turning the power plug, but it wont fit the other way ...
there's not a fuse holder on this set that I can find and nothing in the documentation ... and I'm defintly using the right plug for the ballast

but its near 8 i'm cold and annoyed so I'll quit tonight beefore i break something GRRR !

paul, not having a lot of luck mate, it is bound to be something simple :)

[mr lover]

haven't done them yet, planned for this weekend :)

[paul_y3k]

lol if i was in swindon i'd come up and watch ! lol

Not that mine are this make but I got a set from Nic last year and struggled to get them to light up. I finally realised they were wired the wrong way round after the ballast.
Fairly easy on my set to get some thin nose pliers and remove the pins and simply swap them over in the small connector plug. As you say this has a lug to prevent you just turning in over and pushing together.

Hope it's a simple as mine were to sort.
