I just got a plug and play HID kit. I wired everything up correctly but the only problem is that the HIDs will only turn on in highbeam mode, not on regular. I know I have a single beam H4 kit. How do I fix so that the HID will turn on without being in HID mode?

did you have to splice any wires together?

switch what pin you put the switched power into on your original headlight harness.

Take pictures please. You may just have to repin it.

some one else was having this problem the other day.. might want to look for the post

you can always just cut the 2 wires a reverse them..

i'll take pictures soon...in the mean time i'll try to describe it

the OEM harness is a female three prong plug and the HID harness is a male three prong plug

its basically like plugging something into your house power outlet...it only fits one way

You'll need to find out which wire is the ground, and then switch the other two.

As the halides get hotter, they'll burn their true color, but this should happen during normal operation, not over a span of time.
