highly unlikely that your HIDs are H1 bulbs....but more like H1 (re)base of a D2S
bulb.
probably would be helpful if you can draw diagram of what you did to give folks
an idea what they're trying to analyze
bulb.

This is how I hooked it up ... I put the wire from the back of the stock h1 bulb to the red wire on the hid ... And the black wire that's connected to the housing on the foglight housing .. I took it off of the housing and put it on black wire from the hid ...

Check polarity. When I did mine the positive and negative were backwards, even though it appeared like it was done correctly. So hook the wires up the other way and see if you get "light". Also I did not hook up resistors to HID fogs, CEL never popped up.
