What did I just mess up on m car? (attempted an HID install)
Ok so here's how it begins.
I have an HID kit on my car. Driver side doesn't work, passenger does.
When I turn on my hi-beams, both lights cut
I bought a new hi/lo kit
I took out my old driver side kit, plugged in my stock h4 light, worked like a charm. (this was tested not even 5 mins before i tried for the HID install)
I attempted install on driver side only, pass side was still old kit. Got as far as, turning on the lights - pass lights up, driver doesnt. Turn hi-beam on, driver side low-beam kinda pulsates, pass flickers (thats prob #1)
**So with those results, I fucked around every which way possible with the wires to get the driver side to work properly.**
Finally after 2 hrs, I got fed up and decided just to put my driver side back to stock, and leave this install for a pro.
Here's prob #2. Now the stock bulb doesn't turn on at all, and when I turn my hi-beam on, my pass flickers (before it would just turn off....?)
So can anyonly help me with both my problems? With hi-beams on, my passenger hid went from being off, to now flickering...? And my stock bulb on the driver side doesn't work anymore...?

if bi-xenon, you should have two diodes for each headlight socket. switch them around and you're set
. this is simple otherwise if you don't have these diodes to turn the control on the headlight from positive to negative, you're gonna have to somehow find a wire diagram and do it manually via ground, negative, and positive wires of the stock socket....splicing and such..search it's on here and covered before.
if not bi-xenon, can't help you there. search more.
also, check your wiring on your stock headlight socket as you may have the positive (red) and negative (black ) wires touching each other. check ur fuses at the time too.
