So you come here asking for our help because your HID's work, but when we tell you what might be wrong and what to look for, you tell us you did everything right. Clearly, if you had done everything correctly they would be working. Take a second, calm down, tell us exactly what you did and we will help you the best we can.

okay i hooked up everything up . There is only one way each connector goes in. i hooked them up and turned on the headlight switch and then nothing. i dont have the DRL fuse in the fuse location, would that be a problem?
EDIT: i emailed them and im a goof and relized that they dont have a ground wire prong or wire.

Boosten is right, the clip that plugs into the ballast can go in 2 different ways, one way is the correct way obviously.
Otherwise, if that doesnt fix it then youll need yourself a 9007 wiring harness.

Same thing happned to my first 9007 kit, the RED and BLACK wires were not in the right location. The 9007 and 9004 kit have teh some connection, just the prongs are in diff locations. REFER TO THE FAQ section on installing HID's, there is a pic of what the connector should look like, its my pic.
Hope that helps?

It is normal that they are dim at first, then they get brighter when they turn on. they arent supposed to get bright then dim. something is wrong then, and a reason one bulb probly doesnt work, you may have touched it with your finger, thats bad.
