HID Help Needed Please

I have installed HID in my 02 civic lx and at first, the DRL light on the dash comes on when the lights are off and highbeam light comes on when I have the lights on.

I managed to remove the DRL light on the dash by removing 2 fuses under the steering wheel (#2 7.5A and #13 10A that says Day Light), but I can't seem to remove the high beam symbol light on the dash. It comes on even when i turn on low beam only.

there are 3 colour wire for the headlight harness
(1) red with blue stripe
(2) red with yellow stripe
(3) red with white stripe

i tired the connecting the following ways:

1) negative to wire 1 and positive to wire 2 => no light

2) negative to wire 1 and positive to wire 3 => light (with high beam symbol light on dash

it is a low beam only H4 HID kit. Please help me remove that high beam symbol.

open gauge cluster and put electrical tape over the symbol. i dont think there's any way to get past this except by grounding out the high beam wire.

1st is hight beam
2nd is the low beam
3rd is one main one
connect the 3rd to your 12+ to your ballast
other one to ground use Battary -
This way u wont get the high bem ligt in your dash
i fixed mine i use the same problem

for a high beam connet it to the 1st pin...dont connect anything to lowbeam pin(this is for the Tyc Housing)

here quick draw
see if u understand this pic
match the pins with your plug
