Default HID Xtra install help

Help! I need to know what wires to "polarity reverse" on the kit I got from you HID Xtra! None of the combinations worked on my 2004 xB....All i am getting is :

- HIDs on but Brights indicator on dash is on all the time" then when i flash brights, it flickers out the HIDs

or

- Nothing

I have purchased from them, and have tried every combination I believe. I got the kit w HID and regular bulb brights.....this is wild, please help me out ... Thanks!

well, hids dont have high beam, yea when you put on your high beams your low beams will flicker as there's nothing to move the beam inside the bulb,

I do beleive on the xb high and low are wired togther,there fore getting hids will elimanate the high beams unless you invest in bi-xeon

On a side note. For my sake, please don't put HIDs in a reflective housing unless they are designed for the HID bulb patterns. I really hate getting blinded by those who do that. Not to mention, it looks like carp driving down the road.

Proper cut-off is your friend.
