So do you have 2 different bulbs in your headlight housing?
It looks like your Lo beam is stock and your have HID Hi-beams?

No, I have one single bulb. It has a standard halogen low beam and an hid high beam. Uses one ballast and one bulb. I think I got 10,000 k

Weird, Does it look like the picture I posted in post #9?
I can't figure out how it would work that way?

Here's the exact bulb I'm referring to:

and to confirm, it's 8000K not 10,000k

It says on the wire: 8000k 35w

Isn`t that basically the exact same design Jeffjones was referring to? One bulb construction with two separate glasses...

I have never seen the Halogen Lo and HID Hi as usually those are HID Lo beam and Halogen Hi-beam.
The reason for that is most people when they hit their Hi's they want the light instantly and not wait for the HID's to warm up to get the full light.

It does makes sense. Not sure why yours is the other way around lol

But w/e, right?

With the relay I sent you in the mail yesterday, your high beam HID problem will hopefully be solved.

I put his in my dads shadow that were hid hi and halogen low. I emailed the seller and he said that wasn't right, so basically he wired the plug up wrong so I just had to switch the hi and low wires... which I haven't done yet. Don't know if yours are like this but thought I'd just throw it out there.
