HID fog light won't turn on

Hello everyone hope everybody is boosting to the fullest. Got a little problem here. I have an SE Evo 9 which has HID headlights. I bought some aftermarket HID for my fog light but for some reason they don't come on. Now do I need to have something to make them work or are the HIDs that I bought not working. Please help me out with this issue. I appreciate you guyses help in advance.

1. HID's don't belong in projector housings. Get some normal bulbs for your fog lights.

2. HID's need ballasts

I have the HID kit. Including ballast bulb and all. My headlights already have HID I'm trying to put HID kit for my fog lights to get the yellow color for fog light 3000k. But the fog lights don't turn on when I turn my fog lights on.

It's a sign that you shouldn't use HID's in projector housings.

Sell the HID's and buy some normal bulbs in 2500k or 3000k that are HALOGEN bulbs, not HID bulbs

I belive if you mix up the power an ground terminals they wont turn on. just wire the balast direct to the battery and see if they work. If they do start trouble shooting.

or spend $20 and get some vinyl over your fogs and have the same effect.
