Have you been drinking?

I have, but I still can't work out what you are asking. Try giving a bit more information.

Check all the connections including the earth in the front corner of the engine bay.

What year is the car?

Theres a black connector in the inner wing behind the passenger side light.

This needs disconnection on some e30 models fo fit HID's properly.

Can remember the name if it but it could be a fault for you.
