HID's not working...... Again lol

[newtothegame]

Hi all. Decided to install some Oracle LED 3157 turn/parking light bulbs, which I had kicking around for sometime, with the supplied resistors. For some reason my HID headlights aren't coming on! I heard some radio interference and some faint buzzing sounds during startup of my lights and nothing, just flickering and they won't stay on. My setup includes...
Oracle 35W ballasts, 8000K bulbs with a Retroshop Mopar specific HID relay harness. Checked all of my connections and all seems good. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hey Jeremy. Thanks for chiming in bro. Ya, everything worked fine before the 3157 LED's and resistors. After the instal, fired up the lights and no headlights. Just flickering and doesn't fire up. I've noticed when I turn on the switch the relays "red lights" don't come on... Mounted the resistors on the frame cuz I know they get hot

So.....where are the resistors wired to? What did you tap?

I'd start with checking the connections at the harness to your lights, that might have been bumped out, etc - if both aren't working. Gotta be something simple there

Omg! LOL It was a plug on the main harness that wasn't making contact to the ballast. You could walk by the harness a thousand times and you wouldn't have noticed it until you pull on it. Must have come undone during reinstallation of the headlights :|
Thanks Jeremy for all your help!
