HID fog light trouble

So my 8000k fog lights just came in. I put one on the drivers side and it didnt turn on so I moved it to the passenger side and it worked. So i tried the other set and it didnt work on the driver side but the passenger side works. So I try a 3000k halogen bulb on the driver side fog, and it works. So there is power going into the driver side fog, because a halogen bulb turns on, but it wont turn on the HID.

What could be my problem here? plz help needa get the other on.

try reversing the polarity, the pig tails i mean, force it in the opposite side. sometime the grounding wire in the ballast is preventing the ballast from igniting, same thing happened to my hid fogs.

This is how you fix it... happened to someone else as i was reading how/planing for mine...
Do on the driver side it clips in and works perfect, but on the passenger the polarity "+/-" is reversed.
You have two options, force or cut a notch to attach the connector the opposite way its meant to plug in, or cut the wires, and connect black to yellow ect.
(black and yellow, black and yellow )

so to sum up, driver the black wire per say is "-", on the passenger, the black is "+". all you need to do is flip this...
