you probably blew your fuse(s) for the low beam. try using a proper wiring harness that draws power directly from the battery as opposed to the stock wiring.

low beam problem
i had the same issue. My problem ended up being that the low beam wire was fried all the way to the termination point inside the car under the steering wheel. I ran a new 14 gauge wire directly from that point under the steering wheel straight to the low beam wire on the headlight. That seemed to work great.
I went to my local discount store and bought:
- 14 gauge wire about 20 feet just in case. ~$4
- circuit tester to test how far the break is (ended up being all the way through) ~$12
- pack of wire splice ( 7 in a box ) they are the best you put both wires in and crimp them nothing else needed. Electrical tape is recomended over it. ~$4
All was done after that. The hardest thing is to find out how far the wire is fried. You can also test to see if all is well at the termination point at the connector under the sterring wheel. If that is good you can just run a wire straight from there as i did. I think it is best becuase the heavier gauge wire helps best.
ON MINE IT WAS THE RED/BLUE WIRE. YOU WILL HAVE TO TRACE THE WIRE TO FIND OUT. ( THAT IS FROM THE HEADLIGHT CONNECTOR ALL THE WAY THRU TO THE INSIDE OF THE CAR)
ON MINE IT WAS A RED/GREAY ON THE HEADLIGHT THEN IT CHANGE TO RED/GREEN ON THE HARNESS THEN ON THE CONNECTOR INSIDE THE CARE IT TURNED TO RED/BLUE. IT WILL TAKE 2 HRS TOPS. TO TRACE AND SPLICE.
IF YOU NEED MORE HELP I CAN POST PICS.
GOOD LUCK!!

Rep Power: 0 his wiring is not fried. his stock halogen bulbs still work.
the high beams work fine on the kit.. but low beams(hids) do not work.
they came out of my car which was an EK ... and everything worked fine.
its an h4 kit. and 7th gens use h4 bulbs as well.
