HID's Install Question

Sup fellas

I just installed my 6000k HID's this evening and for some reason my high beams seem to stay on. I have no idea why it stays on but basically its set at the regular headlights but says my high beams are on. Has anyone else had this problem? Any solutions? Ive done a search and havent found much. Also trying to aim them a little lower but was unsuccessful. Any info would be helpful

yo jeff, I had that problem with my kit before i had the retros.
my only guess is that switching the power wire on the harness.
Leave the black wire where it is and unplug the white one and put it on the other one. Do it for both and see what happens.

thats my guess.

now is the problem that the hid light is actually in hi beam mode, or is there just an indicator light on the cluster and hid is fine? If its the ladder, just pull out the hi beam indicator bulb so it doesn't light up. problem solved.

Abe, thanks for the info. I will try that out and see if that works. I was looking at your headlights at the meet. What exactly did you do to them?

Akutenshi, i got them on honda-tech.com They are the 6000k Mcculloch
