My neighbor came to me the other day having a problem with his HID install. Everything looked okay, but when I tested the ballasts neither had any output. Even though he said he double checked his wiring I found that when he inserted the wiring pigtails for the factory bulb harnesses into the ballasts the legs in the socket spread outward and weren't making contact. I straightened the legs, plugged the pigtails back in and his lights now work. This may not be your problem, but it's worth a look. Just looking at the pigtails it appeared that they were properly installed (they were completely seated) but lack of contact inside is what caused the lights not to work.

An old but necessary update: the HIDs are working! I needed to reverse the polarity, but when I originally attempted doing so, I did it incorrectly. After getting on the phone with a customer service representative from DDM Tuning, I was able to sort it all out. Extremely friendly staff. I will post some pics. Gotta remount the ballasts soon.
