HID Install Problems - Lights Not working

I've searched the forum and the net and seems I am the only person I can find that can't get their HID's to work. So I thought I'd spawn a thread see anyone can help.

I bought Hi\Low HID heads and HID fogs for my 2006 Mark LT. I hooked up the included relay harness directly to the battery and wired up the ballasts per the instructions. Nothing works except my parking lights and halogen highs. Since I had to go to work today, I replaced the HID heads with my old halogens, but I left the fogs HID fogs installed. The fogs still do not work.

Any ideas?

try double checking connections even if your absolutely positive you have them connected. I had to unhook everything and re plug in everything and that is all it took with mine. Sometimes you have to do the bambi vision high beams and fog lamps staying on mod. If you search out a thread started by xenon link william (the sales rep for them) really knows his stuff and would be able to help you.

Thanks for the reply. I'll try it again later this week....or it may have to wait until the weekend. I'll go ahead do the Bambi Vison mod as well just to make sure.

I did and it was a five min deal and to tell ya the truth I prefer it now that I did it. And it can completely be removed if you have inspections or something like that you would need to reverse it for. We don't have inspections here so I have no idea what kinda rules there are.

The relay, both positive and negative, is directly connected to the battery. I got the fogs to work by flipping the plug around.
