The new HID's wont come on

raptorforme93 · Jun 12, 2011

I installed a brand new set of 9006 35w 8k HID's from DDM yesterday and installed them according to DDM's instructions and neither one of them will light up. Where do I start to trouble shoot? Has anyone else had this problem? Thank you!

Flip the harness plugs. Lots of people have that issue.

Like he said, flip over the power plug that plugs into the ballast.

Thats the word, ballast! lol, couldn't think of it earlier.

That was it! Thanks guys. That's a design flaw. Haha. The ballast has the tab for the socket to clip onto on the wrong side so i thought I had it on there correctly

Yeah I know, kinda retarded huh? Oh well, they work and hold up! Have had mine in my lows for a while now.

Its stupid but whatever. Haha. They look awesome and I have heard nothing but good reviews about them

I'm glad I finally got a set!!

Actually maybe not a design flaw. When you buy the kit considered to be universal from ddm the harness wiring design may have been originally based on a foreign cars electrical system and for reasons for simplicity of inventory was just left that way but still allowed the harness to be reversed to allow it to be universal. :imo:

Your logic is not welcome here! Ha-ha, just kidin bud, thats probably what the deal is
