Default Just installed my new headlights...

I got the headlights installed and the low beams worked with the halos and leds, but I cannot figure out why the high beams will not work. When I plugged the new headlight clip into the stock harness on the high beams it did not seem snug... how hard should I try to push to get it in? I was pushing pretty hard and I was not satisfied with the connection, could it just not be tight enough?

it's on both sides... I can get the low beams to work fine since they just snap right in and it feels right. However, the high beams feel loose and like its not connecting the socket inside from the harness to the plug from the new headlights. I don't want to force it in since it just seems like the new plug from the new headlights won't fit in the OEM socket, but what else socket could it be? It visually looks right, but I just can't get it to securely connect.

Default you have these headlights

I had the same problem with the high beam, the problem was on the factory clip the reason why it will not plug in all the way on the new harness is because the clip is more narrow. Try pushing in the sides of the factory clip and push it in the harness it should go in. Do you have the anzo headlights?

Cool thanks, I actually got it figured out. My headlights look very similar to yours actually. The problem was that the clip was really tight, so I needed to press the clip down so the harness could slide in. I never would have expected to press so hard, it felt like it was going to break. It all works now though! =)
