Is your kit hi/lo or just low? Did you check the connectors from the stock harness try and move around the connectors determine which is the ground and move around the hi/lo wires. Also check your fuses if it's still good.

its actually quite simple. just trial and error. whatever you plugged and unplugged you should try and work the wires and connections to see if the lights will work. just play with the wires a bit it should work.
just remember you didnt just F*K up your headlights okee.

ok. ima do that
but this kit is weird to me
this does not have direct battery cable lines or any battery support wires
it just links to the ballast and the headlight plug in.
and this kit did not come with any grounding wires or any.
this is what it came with
but its a slim ballast version.

"Slim" ballast is usually a digital ballast, and they are the type you want.
So I'm assuming you're using rebased capsules? They pic doesn't show them. And understand that the stock reflectors in your headlights will scatter, not focus, the light from an HID capsule.
HID systems are far different from your stock headlights. Maybe a little research is in order. There's an excellent thread stickied in this forum about HID retrofitting.
If you've spent less that $100 on a "kit," then I'm not at all surprised you're running into issues.
Sorry if I'm sounding harsh, but I learned the hard way too. A real HID retrofit will cost in the neighborhood of $500- $1000 dollars.
Please read the info about the retrofit at the top of this section. He has great and accurate info.
