    Ok so im at a loss. I have wired HIDs before but never converted to H1 from H4. I bought an H4 wiriing harness for the HIDs. Now heres is my problem

    Relay harness has the correct plug to plug into my stock harness

    also has 2 extra wires for the Hi/Lo i assume go to the projectors

    Now when i plug in as is, i get only HI beam when i turn my headlights on with just the bulb connected. if i turn my low beams on the bulb goes out.

    If i combine the Blue and Red (i assume switch and power) i get Hi and low from the bulb

    But if i connect the projector to the Blue and Black as its supposed to be, the projectors stay in high beam mode even if i switch the switch inside (i assume since i ran power from the Red to the Blue, this making it constant on.)

    Black is netural on the harness.

    any ideas?

    Ok, so there's four plug ins. Two on each side. The black and blue goes to your ballast. The red and black goes to your high beam.

    Wish i would have done an outer ring on the shroud LED halo, just to give it some offset color in the day because it really is all black in there. But other than that they are great, i do need to clean the outside of the lens' and polish them
