If your kit is anything like mines, if you look at the OEM plug you will see that its labeled + -, but the only thing is, is that its opposite. You have to put - to + and + to -. Make sense? Trust me I was like that too, and I figured hey worth a shot and voila! it worked!

Trust me I thought the same at first and I put it + to + and - to - but nothing and I was like WTF?!?! So I was like what the hell might as well try, its a brand new kit so I did it and it works perfectly I love my 3000ks!
BTW danger4o5 you dont happen to have a Black IS do you?

The + and - are indeed reversed. At least they were on mine also.
You have to actually remove the wires from the kits plug, and swap them. All you need is a small screwdriver to pop the pins.

Pretty sure you need the male connector.
After some searching, I found a place with female sockets.
On Ebay, there's a kit that includes wires, that you could just pull out. Like 10 bucks.
