Default NEW HID's INSTALLED....

So i just bought a new set of DS2 Lowbeam HIDs (OEM Replacement) for my s2k... I installed them, just pulled the old ones out... in with the new.. after a lot of pulling at the plastic dust guard in the wheel wells... SO... my question to those of you that have mroe experience with headlights than I do... do you have any ideas what i could check to get these babies working... when i switch the lights to the on position there is an audible click sounding like it comes from the resistors... hi-beams and all other lights work... it's getting real frustrating. . .

thanks

The click is the ballasts firing.....are you sure they are plugged in properly? Did you touch the bulb with your bare hands? Did you try plugging the stock ones back in to see if they work?

Any oil from fingers, and those things will blow QUICKLY. Need to be extra careful when handling.

CLEAN latex gloves while installing are your friend
