Hello Nico!

I recently bought a pair of Dual Halo Projector headlights + 6000k HID kit for my coupe and have a few questions. I did the install myself and didn't have too much trouble, I had to switch the polarity but other than that it wasn't too hard.

Now here comes the part that makes me feel retarded :crazy: which one is my high beam and which one is the low? When I turn the high beam on, the projectors turn on and are not HID, and they are located farthest outside which I thought was where the lows are supposed to be? Also when I have the lights set on "auto", the inside beams stay on no matter if it's day or night?

Heres a few pics of the lights:

It's a plug and play system so i'm not sure how I could've messed it up too bad but then again i'm a noob at this so who knows.

Now after everyone has a laugh at me and how simple my questions are, ANY HELP will be appreciated!

your photos arent working.

The low beams is where the projector is. Did you put your low beam bulb in the high beam hole? You should've payed attention where which bulb goes where when you removed your OEM headlights

The lights came pre-assembled already so I didn't have to put the bulbs in. If the projectors are supposed to be my lows then that kinda sucks because they're not HID like I thought they'd be. Sorry about the photos i'm not really sure how to post them, but here is a link to the headlights from the website.

Clearly I mixed something up I suppose i'll have to give it another shot

I think I just plugged them in wrong, but I didn't think that was possible. But even still I figured both the High and Low beams we're supposed to be HID? But only one is

OK...

I have those headlights. If you didnt switch any bulbs, you dont have HID anything (unless they are selling a pre-equipped HID set now) because they come with halogen bulbs. Even if you bought an HID conversion and ran it inline its not doing anything. It sounds like you just swapped harnesses, the high beam should be the last plug on the harness with the low beam being the second to last. I THINK the high was yellow and the low was grey, swap them and you should be good.

Just got done swapping harness and it works like a charm, but only the High beam is HID apparently. The website is misleading or I just didn't know enough about the product, but I wanted HID for both HI & Low.

Thank you all for your help I really appreciate it!
There's a few more mods to come so you'll be hearing from me again :biggrin:

Did that last picture I posted work?

Bah, my bad, didn't know it came pre-assembled. Glad you got it to work =)
