So I purchased a HID kit and I'm trying to install it but I'm not getting any powa to the ballasts. The kit comes with a harness in addition to the ballasts. I installed the ballasts directly to the OEM harnesses like the directions said, but nothing. So then I tried hooking up the HID harness but I have no idea where the OEM headlight harnesses join and connect into the main feed. Because on the HID harness, there is only one connector to connect to the OEM harnesses, so I'm assuming the OEMs join somewhere and become one and go into a main feed. I hope that makes sense? Any suggestions?
Installing on a 2g.

Not turning on the headlights, or what?

No, ok I guess I didn't solve the problem. I still can't get them to light up. I've tried everything they said on the website instructions and the instructions that came with the kit. I didn't ground it on the battery terminal like their website says, so I thought that was the problem. So I had to extend the ground cable from the HID harness b/c it was too short, and then I hooked it up to the negative battery terminal, but nada. I ordered from mobilehid.com. My OEM harnesses still work when I put the normal bulbs back in, but not when I hook it up to the HID harness.. I'm lost. I changed the fuse and relay on the HID harness just to make sure, still nothing.
also, I'm plugging the remote turn on into one of the factory harnesses, isn't this correct?

Call the manufacturer and see what they say...

i dont know exactly how your setup is, but i didnt use the battery hookups. i just use the power and ground that comes/goes from the stock headlight harness
for the harness that comes with the kit, are you making sure youre plugging into the correct positive and negative wires? you could try flipping them.
other than making sure all of the connections are tight, im not sure. i wouldnt think that both ballasts or both bulbs were bad.
if you can take some pics of your setup, that would help.
