Hi Guys ok so i Bought a set of HID Lights for my 96 Silverado ex cab
These r Plug and play I Connected one side it didn't turn on

and They Work just fine.
And to make sure He asked one of his co-workers for his car keys we went outside the parking lot he connected it and light turn on

I believe you need a transformer for HID lights. Some vehicles have HID from the factory and have a built in transformer. You should have got the transformer with the kit. This might be your problem.

Are you sure that you are getting a good ground connection?
