Hey, someone please help me with my HID install kit. I have tried everything and cannot get these things to work! I purchased the kit from MrBodyKits.com or StealthAuto. It is just the H13 single beam kit. I will post pics if needed, just let me know. Any videos or pictures would be helpful! Thanks for everyones help in advance!!!

I plugged it all up the way I thought it was suppose to go and I am getting no power to the light. I have a two prong wire that I have no idea what to do with along with an anti flicker device? Here are some pics...

Did you install the anti-flicker device?
Pics of what you are doing would be nice.
Or a brand name for the HID kit.
Or a link to where it was purchased.

The two or three open pins on the one wire are for the signal. You have to plug these in to the factory wiring harness (the part that connected to the back of the stock headlight bulb) to pick up the signal for when to turn on. I just kept switching the order until i got it right. After you figure it out, put electrical tape in between the pins to keep them from shorting eachother out and then tape them in to the connector so they dont fall out. Hope this helps!

I am familiar with wiring as I used to install car audio. This whole setup according to the website's customer service staff uses no ground wire, which I thought was strange as well. Someone let me know how to upload pics so I can install these things ASAP! Thanks!
