i recently purchased a set of hid fog lamps. after installing them they were flickering but were NOT registering a lamp ot message. i purchased a "anti-flicker" unit and now the bulbs dont work at all and now are registering a lamp out message. anyone had this before?

Where'd you purchase your HID fog lamps?

nevermind, just figured it out. wiring was reversed? not sure what happened but i had to install the plug opposite to what the fastening clips would suggest you do. just put some electrical tape to hold it. weird? anyone have that problem?
