this might sound stupid but when connecting the kit togeather which battery terminal are you connecting the kit to ?? POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE ?? I currently have it connected to the positive and like I said I have power issues .. i dont want to try the negative terminal unless im told this would fix my problem ??? HELP !!!

you hook the power or +12v to the +, and i believe the ballast needs to be grounded onto something... ground is the - sign. iunno if this helps? lol

Current flows from positive to negative. Positive is the correct terminal.

As andyman4lyfee mentioned, you need someplace for the current to go - some sort of ground or return to the negative terminal. I don't know where that is.

A volt meter or continuity tester is a inexpensive tool. Begin at the connection to the battery and follow the lines. My assumption is that the lines are OK. You simply lack a proper ground.
