Default Superslim HID install problem

I have just installed the first of my new HID main beam bulbs on my 04 JDM blobeye but they do not work. I have tried both ballasts and both bulbs.

I have seen in other threads suggestions about reversing the polarity. But as the wiring is plug and play, and idiot proof, I can see no way of reversing the polarity as the connections will ony connect one way.

Any help appreciated.

As suspected, it was a polarity issue. Bob to the rescue, you have to reverse the connector coming in from the cars origianl wiring loom. Then all OK.

Plug and Play on the models which have the wiring the right way around.

Just a case of switching the wires over/reversing the plug on the ones that don't
