Ok first I have been trying to search I thought I had it all figured out but it doesn't work how I thought.

My step son has a 2002 maxima with HID's. He got into a little accident and we are working on fixing it. Both headlights broke. He wanted the halos so he bought a set off ebay, yes I know they wont' be as good I told him that. He also bought a set of hid 9006 bulbs to put in them. Yes I know again not in a projector housing so please don't kill us on that either. I had them all wired up how I thought they would work. The power from the plug spliced into the connection for the ballast for the new lights. Well it won't fire off. if I go direct to the battery it works fine. I have 12 volts on the plug when the lights are switched on but then it fails from there. If anyone has any suggestions or can explain why this is happening I would greatly appreciate it. Thinking we might just go with a relay direct from the battery to power them on. Extra wiring but pretty sure I can get that to work pretty easy.

Thanks for any help.
