Default need HID help!!!

ok, so i just purchased a HID kit, H4 with the halogen high beam. i got it from operatic (spl?) hee on SL. my problem is i can only get the halogen high beams to work. the low beam HID wont come on. its just a simple plug in here and there, so it should be working. i am completely stumped as to what the problem could be. any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance.

I'd shoot him a PM, he's a sponsored seller, so i'm sure he'll help you out.

believe it or not, try switching the wires backwards, my kit came with the pre-attached pig-tails for my TC and they were put in backwards when they made the harness.

funny that you mention that. on my kit, i found it odd that i was getting power out of the black wire and not the red. black usually being a ground and all.

Does your kit have projector lenses? Are you happy with the illumination?
