New Mobile HID H4 Slim Ballast Having an Issue
So I got a set of these new Mobile HID slim Ballast for my other car. The bulb size is a H4. I came here cause I know a lot of you guys know about lighting and about the company. I plugged everything in right but im only able to get the High beams to turn on but the low beams wont. Any suggestions?
I email Mobile HID last week he replied to me but it was pretty late at night and he said he would contact me the next day to help me. But that was last week and I emailed him a few times after that with no reply. Just figured its the holiday season and im sure hes pretty busy.

OP, do the slim ballasts have to be grounded? Maybe that's the problem.
H4 is a dual filament bulb and the mobilehid is not dual filament so you lose the high beam. most HID kits for the H4 lose the high beam and only some kits have a dual filament bulb where there is a halogen highbeam and HID low beam.. dont ask me where to find these kits cause i forgot
it's has 2 bulbs. The way it set up is
Ballast with 2 wires coming out of it
Hid light bulb with high beam with a harness of wires coneccted to it
The harness has 3 sets of wires
1 plug to connect to factory harness
1 wire that goes to the hid
1 set of wire with 2 connectors that also goes to the hid
Nothing else.
I don't see a set of wires anywhere for + and -
So assumed it still getting power from the factory plug

Did you unhook battery before install could have blown a fuse?
check connections make sure there together all the way
Did you connect to the stock harness on both sides (old relay set only needed one side plugged in)
i re-read the OP and i understand your prob. it only turns on with the highbeam switched on. that means that the HID ballast gets power from the hi-beam wire. that is the trade-off for H4. you lose either low beam or hibeam. alternatively can you show us a pic of the setup? maybe that will help us trouble shoot
