hi I'm replacing the headlight
Unknowingly the wires were in REVERSE position, so HID didn't come on and the fuse (15A) was blown.
Have I done any damage to the car, wires or HID ?
thanks
Sheesh. You'd think that they'd fit the wiring harness with a keyed connector to prevent reversed connections.
What kind of car is this so I won't buy one like it by mistake?
If it works when connected correctly, no. In fact, there may be a reverse polarity diode in the inverter put there specifically to blow the fuse and protect the electronics in the event it gets miswired.
If it doesn't work (once connected correctly), you've blown the inverter.
