HID Headlight help
I've installed the system that I bought through ebay, (mentioned in the other post) but have a problem. Seems I only have high beams. If I turn on the headlights, they work, but when I hit the high beams, they go off. Also, the daylight running lights stopped working. On the OEM plug, there's three wires. Looking at it from the backside, I believe the left wire is lowbeam, the right, highbeam, and the center ground. Does anyone know if this is correct?
The plug and play plug only has two wires, one hot and one ground. As it comes out of the box, the hot wire is on the highbeam side, if I'm correct on the wiring.
Please help, it getting dark outside

Re: HID Headlight help
"If I turn on the headlights, they work, but when I hit the high beams, they go off."
My guess would be is you only bought low beam HIDs not BI-xenon which also have HID for the high beams. If this is correct, your kit doesnt have high beams. Now I actually bought a kit like this for my porsche, but my porsche has a second bulb for high beams, so I have HID for my low beams and normal bulbs (yellowish) for my high beams, and when high beams are on my low beams stay on.
But like I said it sounds like you didnt by BI HID so you dont have HID for your high beams. In the hummer there is only 1 bulb if I'm correct so I guess you dont have high beams.
About the DRL they only come on during the day, or when the headlights are off. *typo edited so people dont go crazy*

Re: HID Headlight help
Can you post a picture of the kit? I installed a Bi-Xenon kit on my H2 recently, possibly I can help.

They're the same lights as in the ad. Supposed to have high and low, but have yet to hear from the seller.
Think i should change the hot to the low beam side?

Re: HID Headlight help
That link is not working for me.
Sounds like you may have something hooked up wrong.
Also
"Seems I only have high beams. If I turn on the headlights, they work, but when I hit the high beams, they go off."
First you say you only have high beams, then you say if you turn on the headlights they work but when you hit high beams they dont work.
Did you buy BI xenon HIDs or just single HIDs?

Re: HID Headlight help
The link is in post #13 on page 1.
I have headlights, but I don't know if they're high or low beam.
It's a 2006 H2. Turn the light switch to headlights and they come on. Pull the lever switch for high beams and nothing. The running lights won't come on at all.
As I previously stated, the kit came with the hotwire on the left side of the plug. Am I correct that the low beam is on the green/white wire and the yellow is the high beam?
Thanks

Absolutely WRONG! pteam don't give bogus advice. DRL's go OFF when the headlights are ON. You must have the key in RUN position and the truck in gear for them to come on.

Re: HID Headlight help
I know it's no big deal to you but when someone asks for help and you tell them the exact opposite of the truth, it may not be a small deal to them. And it certainly doesn't help them. I'm just suggesting that if we offer help we know what we are saying AND what we type. But i didn't mean to offend. Sorry.

I really didn't want a discussion over mis-statements or typo's. All I really wanted was an answer to my question.
