wiring for HIDs in MSP??

[Shadow102]

Hey i just purchased a set of BMW HIDs for my MSP the problem i am having is i have no idea how to wire them up to the stock wiring. It seems the stock bulbs are ground switched. If i hook up the ballast to both 12V+ wires on the low beams and then ground out the other wire to the body the HID will come on but then blow the head light fuse for that side after a couple seconds of opperation. Anybody have an idea of how to wire this setup and not blow fuses?

*new stuff*
Ok finally got them in and took some time with some pics. I love these lights as they light up everything had to adjust them down a little to get ppl to stop flashing me. I put them up against a p5 with 6000k bulbs and these are much brighter. Now i just have to address the issue of the fog lights i will prolly just need to look for yellow bulbs.

nevermind got them installed the + wire goes to the 12V constant and the negative needed a body ground to work correctly

i will try to take some pics tonight. I bought them from a forum memeber so i am not sure what bimmer they are outa of. The bulbs do not directly fit in you have to pull the stock ring off the stock bulbs and JB weld to the BMW bulbs which is rly easy to do. All in all i paid 200 for the whole set but i guess it would be whatever the local junkyard wants for the ballasts and bulbs plus a stock set of bulbs.
