I've been researching HID setups alot lately since I'm looking into it for my car. I've learned their are many options...

Did you get the Kit from ebay that has the H4 plug in to the harness for plug and play-ness and has a HID low beam + halogen high beam??

well... in that case they should just be plug and play and work when you turn your low beams on...

Maybe defective?? Do they both not work?? If so I would check that you are plugging them in the right way and I would check that the way it's wired is correct for the way the plug is wired. ie the high beam for the high beam the low beam for the low beam and the ground for the ground.

dam. well if they worked in the Versa they should work in the 240. (2+2=4) You have to be doing something wrong here. Maybe a wrong sized/blown fuse or a relay that isnt working right. That or you are wiring it wrong seems to be the only possible options
