    Ok so i got a used HID kit for my headlights 6000K i believe. Anyway, crazy bright, gonna do rest of my lights up front as money allows. But i do have one problem, The high beams are on when the headlight switch is on low beams and vise versa. What can be causing this anyone have ideas? ps: they are DDM tuning lights.

    The wires going from your headlight harness are backwards. Try swapping the plugin 180* and see if that works.

    not sure you really want to do that. You could be sending 12v down to the ground wire and blow something up. You probably just have the 2 power wires switched.

    Cowboy is right. You need to swap both power wires not ground and power. Big, I told you this same thing when you called me about it....

    The way yall worded it, it sounds as if he should swap positive and negative which is wrong.

    He needs to swap positive and positive.
