are you sure you have bi-xenon hids? Also check your wiring.

Most hids just come in single beam, when you install them they will eliminate high beam. So make sure what kit you have.

if you have a 92-03 civic, if you bought a single xenon HID kit, then more than likely the HID kit you have does not have a high beam function or a peanut style halogen high beam.

If you have a single xenon kit, You will not get highbeams.

When you activate the highbeam in the h4 bulb, It lights up the bottom half of your housing from the lower part of the bulb that doensn't have a shield.

So if you put an HID plug and play kit in your stock h4 housing,
you will light up the top and lower part of the housing which is like having highbeams and lowbeams on at the same time, Blinding on coming drivers and glare.

Even if you aim them lower, you won't be able to see the signs light up farther away and bascally worst then stock.

Retro fit OEM HID if you want HIDs.
