Almost got it figured out. Was using the 9005 plug.. Switched it over and tried it again and blew the fuse... Tried a 20a fuse again and got nothing. Grounded the balast and then tried once again. Blew the fuse again. Getting closer. Figure I am going to have to reverse the 9005 and 9006 wires to make them fit into the projectors. Then see why the fuse keeps blowing... Probably since I was trying it with my low-beams on at the same time...

Ok, i am sort of confused on this one, are you using an aftermarket HID system? Or an OEM system pulled from a luxury car? What kind of bulbs are you using? Retrofitted D2R~>9006 philips bulbs or premade 9006 HID bulbs? Now if you are using HID, they are meant for lowbeam use only. Try making sure that the wires from the ballast are properly hooked up to your factory wires, you dont want to mix the - and + wires, that will cause blown fuses.

The sockets for my projectors have been reversed for a long time. Sorry for confusing you. I have a 9006 KIT. Anyways I'll try again today to see what I can do...

Dudes... BRIGHT!!! wow, Thanks to slammedcivicsi that is... Anyways. Well worth it with projectors. Only prob is that my hyper white corners now look yellow. Oh well too bad Vision ambers are so expensive.. Maybe I'll have to splurge!!
