seems like you answered your own question. if you unhook the halogen (high beam), then, naturally, when you hit the highbeam, nothing should come on. the indicator should come on no matter what. reattach the high beam, and all should be well.

think you i didnt explain it well, When all the wires are attached to the system the hi beam light (the blue one in the dash) is on but the switch is on low beam but nothin happens when i hit hi beam lights stay the same, but when i unhook the halogen lights + (think the hi beam wire) everythins back to normal the indicator is not on when its on the low beam on when i hit hibeam but the head lights dont come on on hi beam just low beam any ideas why or is that how its supposed to be thanksD

lol my fault not good at explaining things. but i think the fault is on the halogen bulb b/c a while ago i hooked it to the low beam wires and it worked ok then i hooked the wires to the hi beam and the whole thing began the hi beam indicator was on and was in low beam and when i put to hi beam the light didnt come up at allthen i hooked the factory bulbs and they work good so its eaither nissan has some wired kind of a lighting system or the small halogen is F#@%ed up but still it worked well under low beam so i'm clueless now

you seriously, seriously, need to start writing with more periods. you're next to completely unintelligible. to answer your question, it's rather easy. if two of your three female ports are in a bottom configuration, your negative will be on top, on your left will be the low beam, on the right will be the high beam. i picked up a hid conversion kit from http://www.neverburnout.com and faced the same problem with a single beam configuration. if you think this is tricky, try doing it with a bixenon configuration.

take it easy
