So my dad got me a HID kit from HIDextra.com for my 01 ram 1500, which was pretty awesome of him, anyway so I went to install it, not too many issues really with the install, absolutely no instructions came with the unit and the instructions on their website don't match the unit they ship. Not a huge deal its all Plug N Play, connectors all have little clips that clip in so you just match up the clips, sounds easy right? So I get it all hooked up and turn on my headlights, nothing, nada, not $H!*. At this point it was raining and threatening to lightening out (I'm currently living out of a hotel and have no garage or anything) so i called it quits for the night. Go back the next morning after looking at their website at their install instructions, which as mentioned before are fairly worthless. Double check all my connections and try again, still no headlights, but hey my high beams work, well now isn't that something so I look at the ballast and the connector there and this is what I see.
(Notice the Positive connecting to the negative....)
I was able to turn the connector around and get them working, but it doesn't clip in. I looked at taking the pins out but wasn't able to get them out to reverse them was worried I'd break the pins. Going to call the company tomorrow and have them send me a new wire harness or ballast. Its not dark out yet so I have no pictures for a before and after currently. If not for the bad job of wiring the connectors and ballast and everything seem to be decent quality.
