ok so my passenger side headlight(hid) went out today so I checked it out an it wasn't my ballast but in fact was the bulb. But web I went to put the kit back together my fogs went out(also hid). I tested the headlight fuses but no power was going to both 20 fuses. All other fuses had power to them. The ballasts are okay also even tried stock bulbs still no luck. Anyone had this problem or know what went wrong!? I'm gonna take it to an auto electric shop tomorro but any suggestions would help! Thanks..

Its probably a short in the system somewhere, a really sensitive wire somewhere. So double check all your connections and plugs, hope this helps.

Like I said, its probably a sensitive wire that cuts off when its moved the wrong way. Happens all the time in the audio world.

well, you mentioned that the fuses had no power going to them--are you saying the fuses are BLOWN? if so, replace them.

also, i noticed that my OEM headlight fuse kept blowing with my HID's so i upped the amperage to 30 AMP and it never blew again. (the OEM fuse is 15 AMP, i think)

^Not really a recommended step though... Unless the manufacturer said to do so and you didn't heed it, especially since if some other electrical issue comes up with your HID it's just going to fry the wiring instead of trip a fuse.
