HID kit help?

Can anyone tell me why when I turn on my low beams, my high beams also come on but are very dim. I've switched the wiring like I'm suppose to in order to get the right color, but other than that I haven't done anything but plug and play.

Nah its not the relay!

Look on the Low beam, When the (+) going by the headlamp, it split up and pass thru the high beam, you need to disconnect the 'green' wire to the low beam!

Re: HID kit help?

So if I disconnect the green wire on both low beams, the HID's will still work?

Yes, but the best way to know it is to test it yourself! Just disconnect and you will see! But it worked on mine!
