Default Interpretation needed.

I was wondering if anybody could explain this diagram for me. I am doing a bi-xenon projector retrofit into my stock civic headlights and I can't get my bulbs to stay on when I flash my high beams on. This diagram explains how to do it but I can't quite understand it. Any help is greatly apprecaited!

Are you sure both relays work? Do you hear a clicking sound when they come on? If you wired it EXACTLY like that then it has to either be faulty wiring or something is reversed or something like that. Since your low beams work I would investigate the wiring for your high beams and see what you can find.

I haven't set it up like this yet b/c I don't quite understand how to do it. I don't get where the 85 and 86 go to.

It seems that there are 2 grounds and 1 12v power supply wires coming from the stock wiring on the car.. 1 ground for high beam and 1 for low beam and 1 common 12v.

For the highbeam relay:

85 goes to highbeam ground from car wiring for headlight

86 goes to 12v wire from car wiring for headlight

For the low beam relay:

85 goes to 12v wire from car wiring for headlight

86 goes to chassis ground

Hope it helps clarify. GL
