Default High Beams Won't turn off!?!?!

So I bought a brand new Bi-Xenon HID kit from VVME and installed it in my EG Civic Hatch yesterday. Everything was working normal until 30 min after the installation, my high beams stayed on and wouldn't turn off anymore, even when I clicked it to turn off. So, I disconnected the connector for the high beams and it went back to low beams but the high beam indicator light in my dash was still on! Checked all the light fuses, everything was good. Thought it was the dimmer switch but it wasn't either cause I tested it with my brothers from his hatch. Only way I can turn it off is if I pull out one of the low beam fuses from under the dash. If I pull out one of the high beam fuses it doesn't make a difference.

Couldn't figure out what it was so I decided I'll take it to Advance Auto, see if the guys there know anything. I turn on the car and start driving, I noticed the high beam indicator light is now off. Everything seemed to work normal again. Then later that day I hit a pot hole and the light is now back and won't go away! Can anybody please help???

Try switching the blue and white wire from your harness.

Your headlight switch is possibly bad.

Actually, could it be that? I mean turn signals work, I can still turn on head lights and everything. Just that the high beam indicator light won't turn off. If I plug high beam connectors back together high beams stay on, too. I wonder what that pot hole did exactly? Lol.

You have the plug that goes from the HIDs to your cars harness. On the HID harness swap the blue and white wire. Take a paper clip or a very very small flat head insert it where prongs are take them out and swap places.

So the HID harness wouldn't match up colors with the cars harness but the black wire? Guess I can give that a try.

Yes, the kit came with a relay that i ran it with. That would make sense though, since after the pot hole it became crappy again. Hmmm..
