Please Help with HID wiring, very confusing.

Ok so I bought new headlights, my previous headlights had HIDs so I thought it would be east to install, I removed my original headlamps and unplugged everything. The halo power and ground was spliced into the side marker light which I repeated with the new headlights and worked fine. My highbeam plug on the new headlights didnt match my cars highbeam female plug, I also noticed on the original headlights I had; there was two extra places to put a ground and power for the HID bulb, and on the new headlights there weren't. So I did some inspecting and it looked like the highbeam plug on my original headlights had 2 extra wires running from it (a ground and power for my HIDS's), So therefore I removed this highbeam plug from original headlamp and put into new headlamp removing the original headlamps higmbeam plug. I plugged the new wire into my car and my highbemas worked great. Now all that was left was these two extra plugs ground and power for my HID, wired the power together turned my lights on and touched the ground and my HID's went on!!!! Now after all this everything seemed fine. So I started taping everything up putting everything in the right place and when I had everything taped up, I touched the grounds again and my HID's wouldnt turn on???? maybe I blew the ballast some how? So I went to the other headlight reapeated the process and the HID wouldnt turn on??? Im confused and I hope this is all wired right because I odered new ballast and HIDS, hoping the ballasasts are bad.




Again heres my setup
1. Highbeam Plug to car plug
2. Two extra wires coming from highbeam wire (white wire), wire these to power and ground of HID.

In somce case the plug that comes from the ballast and the light bulb needs to be flipped around. Flip them around and reconnect them and they should fire up. May you show picture as it should be plug and play.

I know it's a confusing pic, but the two wires on bottom left are halos dis reguard those, the white wire is my high beam wire that plugs from car high beam female to headlight along with the two extra wires the plug into my hid (Ground and Power)

Like DSM said try switching everything. On a side note, you should get yourself a soldering iron and some heat shrink.

x2, that is one shotty looking wiring job. atleast take the extra 2 minutes to do it right.

Spade connectors seem like a bad idea. Solder + Heat shrink would be a much better connection if your HID Ballasts are not PnP.

I just rigged it to see if everything worked then I was gonna wire it right, but thank you all I did was flip the plug on the ballast and it worked, appreciate the help guys !
