Please throw your HID kit away. You're going to do more harm than good.
There are more to HID technology than pluging them in and calling it a day.
HID in halogen housing will cause glare, blind on coming traffic and create poor cutoff.

www.hidplanet.com will teach you and show you the light about HID.

And to boot, running HID off of stock wiring harness will cause it to fail and can even cause a fire (very rare, but plausible). You need a custom harness, or you will fry your stock harness. On startup, HID draws ~13 amps for a few seconds, while halogen only draws ~7. Stock wiring harness/system will handle it for a while, but ultimately will fail. Sell your kit while you can, and do it over again, right.
