I'm assuming you've plugged it (the HID kit) directly into your factory H4 harness, yes?

did the kit plug into all 3 sockets of the H4 harness or just 2 of em?
p.s. I'm kinda doing the 20 questions thing because I've never personally dealt with H4 HID kits, I've only dealt with H1 kits and my retrofit, so I'm trying to get a feel of how this is hooked up.

there are some kits out there that have 2 HID bulbs in one fixture. that's the "dual beam". those require a ballast for each arc tube. so unless you have 4 ballasts, you'll have a HID low beam and halogen high beam most likely.
