H4 headlight wiring is weird. I had to buy a relay harness from theretrofitsource.com to get my high beams working properly - I couldn't activate the high beam solenoid in my projectors following the pictures posted above, because when the high beams are turned on I believe the low beams turn off, which turn off my HID bulbs.

You've got separate high beams now? Make a harness like the pic above or buy the H4 relay harness off theretrofitsource...its $30 though I think
