You could try wiring them correctly...if the socket you used is making the highbeam indicator come on, switch it to the other one.

dude.. just switch the positive wires on the harness around. The positive wires on the PNP kit's harness. The 3 plug one that looks like the 3 plugs on your H4 lightbulb. Switch the positive wires. If theres only 2 wires then switch that positive wire to the other positive connector. Just find out which of the 3 is the negative and leave that one alone. Switch whatever other wire there is, to the other pin and you cant mess up.

No. That's not the problem. There is no HID kit strictly for high beams. He installed it incorrectly, or the instructions for installing are wrong.

Exactly. I didnt think it was that hard to figure out on your own, but there you go.
