Drivers-side HID fog not powering on

I'm installing DDM Tuning HID's in the fogs. The passenger side works fine. The drivers side does not power on. I don't hear the initial "buzzing" of the ballast either.

Both light assemblies work on the passenger side - so I don't think it's any of the HID's electronics.

The halogen blub DOES still work on the drivers side - so there is power over there.

I do see that the drivers side ONLY has wires for the fog light. Whereas the passenger side has a few other wires in the loom - maybe there's not enough power supplied for the drivers side???

Any ideas? Bumper is off and I'm sweating it a bit. Helpz!

Thanks.

Figured it out. Had to reverse the plug - a.k.a postive/negative. It's obviously backwards because now the tab needs to be jammed in backwards (or cut). Well, it's working.

Lol it took you 28 mins to figure it out! Well I shouldn't say anything, it would have taken me a hours of reinstalling.

LoL. During that time of panic, I also worked on my rear coilovers... You'd think the stuff would work the way it was built - didn't cross my mind immediately that it might be backwards. Guess no harm

Hopefully someone else stumbles across this thread right away if they ever run into a similar problem. I actually did find a post on here suggesting to switch + & - after I figured it out on my own. Durr.
