The 2 plugs from the hid bulb that hook up to the factory wires from your car. Was your hid kit made in Japan or China??

sorry im taking long to respond, im at work and checking back when i can. Some Asian countries and European Countries wire things backwards. like positive and negitive. Do you understand which wires I was refuring to?

yes i just looked under my car and switched those two and they work, thank you for your help. i guess ill use eletrical tape to tape them since the clip is facing the wrong way.

I think different color fogs look better then same color. For example, i got a 4300 kit for my main lights, and 3000 for my fogs (they appear yellow, HID yellow, looks really nice)
