HID install problem

TRying to install a 55w 8k ddm tuning kit on my 2006 silvy. in the 9006 low's. I hook everything up but they just wont turn on. made sure everything was connected tight. Anyone else run into this ?

swap the pins in the original headlight wiring plug that go into the ballast or just turn the plug around the other way and bend the keeper tab up

Yep, these trucks need the polarity reversed for them to work. I've installed 4 sets and they were all this way. Just plugged the connector in backwards to the ballast.
