    Electrical is pretty simple, it will either work correctly, work but not switch correctly or not work at all. You should be fine by just keep switching your connectors to find out which configuration is the right one. Make sure your ground is perfect though. It's the same for car audio, if the ground isn't good it won't work right.

    BTW pics would help.

    Xentec hid's. I think the wires are white ,blue ,and a weird reddish color. I am not at home now, so I cant get pics. The lights work but do not switch. I keep thinking the white is ground but idk.
