Having HID Problems

Ok so when I bought my car it was already wired with an aftermarket setup. Recently the driver's side HID stopped working completely, it went from working most of the time to gradually less and less until now where it seems to be done.

So I bought new Morimoto D2S bulbs and a pair of new 35w ballasts from VVME. Despite changing the bulbs and ballasts I still can't get the damn driver's side to work.

Any ideas? And yes I did a lot of searching but can't find anything.

Check the wiring going from the chassis to the ballast.

^Thanks again civic. Got it working, it was the wiring connections. After I replaced the ballast - the new one wasn't marked with positive/negative - I mistakenly had the plug in the wrong way and simply switched it around.
