so i began troubleshooting and thought it was something wrong with the ballast but its not because i plugged em up to the headlights n they not only came on but blinded the **** outta me wen i peeped around the hood to make sure they came on. These are 35w ballasts HIDs with 8000K bulbs. does anyone kno what i shuld do? so many people have HID fogs on here i dnt see y mine wont come on?

Nicholas, did you try calling DDMtuning? Seems like they should be the first stop.

Try unplugging your bulb connectors and flip them, like you know plugging it the wrong way. This happened to my fogs when I installed the HID kit. I had to reverse the plugs on them in order to work.
Im pretty sure this is the matter. =)

nope, fogs work with regular bulbs
yup same thing happens here, i thought mayb becuz i had a problem with my switch to turn my fogs on that they weren't coming on but not only was the other foglight with a regular bulb in it on, when i switched out the ballast with the bulb while everything was still on the bulb came right back on.

and here is the car with one HID installed on passenger side vs. the 12v 55w Phillips 9006 bulbs

And this is jus my favorite pic. i love how the headlights hav the hint of blue, the parking lights r jus white and the fogs look green. i can def see a difference at night even with the tint but the projection on the ground at nite is almost as green as it looks in the pic. here's a close up

LOL they're 8000K, n no one believes me. LOL...its all becuz of the tint. i used sum old window tint i found in my garage from my father's window tinting days and i slapped it on them one night wen i was bored. i thought since the lights without tint shuld be like frost white that they wuld look kinda purple under the tint but they jus came out green. i like it thou. its a happy accident. LOL
