need help installing hids into my fogs.

so i got everything wired up into my cls55 , used a xentec 6000k 35w kit out of my 7 series but get no response from the car. still have a halogen in one side and it fires up but this the hid wont work. am i missing something here? i would post in the w219 section but seems like all the action is here, and usually am told to ask in the w211 section anyways.

tested the ballast and bulb and it works off the battery.

invert the pins or remove the extra harness connector if you have one on your car

i'll give you about a month and half or so and one of the ballasts will burn out if not both... our cars dont seem to like the xeentic brand, well at least mine doesn't. replaced with a different set and i've never had to look back again, i got the set with voltage regulator on the harness or w.e that little square piece is

ive had these in my 7 series for 12 months, and another set in my snowmobile for 2 years. i have an extra ballast as the first set with metal top didnt seal well and water got inside. the ones i have now are all plastic and i re sealed with silicone. i know they are hit or miss, especially the bulbs but we shall see.

my car came with halogens, so i did 55w digital 6000k lows, and 6000k 35w fogs as thats what i had in my 7.

the weird part is that in the picture the fogs look blue but are actually very white, my head lights have more of a light blue tint if anything.
