HID LIGHTING MALFUCNTION? NEED HELP!

Hello everyone,

Recently my HIDS went completely out. I figured it was time since I had them forever. So I went ahead and bought a new kit for my 2013 camaro ls, I purchased the universal relay along with a xenon HID KIT.

Hooked everything up, solid ground and hooked the power to the positive terminal under hood. And NOTHING.

Replaced the fuses and still nothing.

Is there anything I'm missing? I even went as far to purchase some adapters for the factory harness as my aftermarket lights have the h9 bulb housing so I got some h9 to h13 adapters.

Why no power?

Ps I had to cut the positive connection to a U shape because it would not fit around the bolt, would that be the issue?

Thanks

Yes they came with the ground wire and I grounded to the chassis pole location on driver side.

Did you buy a quality kit? I've seen crappy kits that don't work right out the box
