Could you say a little more about how you have them wired. Are the grounds for the ballast wired directly to the battery ground or too chassis? Not to car harness ground?

I connect the grounds to the connections from the harness, they both was workin perfectly... I took the bulb and connect it into the workin headlight and the bulb is ok, i took the ballast out, and put it straight to the battery and nothing, when i took the workin one and put it straight to the battery it was workin
There is power comin into the ballast but nuttin coming out...

same thing happened to me..did u disable your daytime running lights? if u didn't thats why your ballast is not working...hid's have to run on full power not the power of daytime running lights...u have to get that ballast fixed or replaced
