are you using an upgrade wire harness with relays? stock harness does not support hid. maybe your kit is broken

I have the relay kit from my old HID set. but it still didn't work when i connect the relay kit to my new HID kit.

however one thing i found out is that... the Max current input for my new HID ballast is 10A.. my old set is 20A. that's the only difference between my two kits.. the old kit worked on my car.

so can i say that my car is putting too much current to my new kit so that it didn't work.. coz i found out the fuse for the car's headlight is 15A.

Does it work if you turn on your High Beams? There is a slight configuration difference between a civic & an EL in reference to plug & play. Depending on your answer to the first question, I can try and point you in the right direction.

well.. the high beam works.. however my H4 Hi/Lo kit is one of those that comes with 2 bulbs (one hid bulb and beside is the high beam halogen bulb)..

when i plug all in.. only the halogen high beam worked... the HID never light up..
