Need Help with Installing HID kit

I'm attempting to install ALine Xenon HID kit on my 05 Evo. It all comes with plug-n-play harness but after I plug everything, it does not work. I changed the amp from 10 to 20 and still nothing happens. Would it be that the connector from the kit and the OEM harness be differently wired? Anyone done this before? Please let me know how you do it. Thanks!

the evo is a reverse polarity set up for the hids so positive is negitive and negitive is positive so just flip the part that connects to the factory power to the hid ballast try that and bet it works... i had the same porb!

Thanks, I was thinking of that too but didn't want to fry anything. I'll try that in a bit. What about the fuse? Just replace the 10 amp with the 20 amp sounds ok?

Agree you have to flip, mine wasn't working and I was sad and I tried to flip it et voila....

check my thread on HID, if you look the 3rd pic, you can see I ground on positive and positive on ground ( black on white and red on black )
