I tried installing a set of 8k VME HID's today with no avail. Had everything plugged in but the lights didnt turn on. I checked all the connections twice over. I had the blue plug plugged into where the drivers side bulb usually plugs in which I think is correct. I also had the relay on the positive terminal which should also be correct. Finally I gave up and had to take everything back out and return everything to stock. Im stumped with this one. Anyone else had this problem ? Anyone have pics of their install ?

Re-wired the grounds and messed with the ballast wires and then I got brights only. Then oddly enough my buddy jeff started messing with other wires and wiggling them and all the sudden the low beams started working. Theres not a huge difference between the hi's and low's its kinda lame but at least I can pass a road side saftey test or whatever.
