You need to switch the two wires on the plug that control high/low beam. I don't remember the colors but there is another HID thread on here somewhere and someone had the vvme kit and had the same problem.

I bought the bi-xenon kit from vvme.com and it was $115 shipped. ($85+30)

Here is what i got out of the other post...

"I got it figured out. it was two small black and red wires behind each of the headlights.. they just needed to be swapped "
but im still slightly confused... by swapped does that mean move the red/black wires from my left head light to the right head light? or swap the red and black wires on one headlight then do it on the other.

Im assuming the first option because i dont think the red and black wires have the same plug?

On ONE headlight first, cut the red/black wires, swap them, and see if the high/lows are correct. If that works, crimp/splice/whatever them together and repeat for the other side.

Yeah its really easy, if you run into any problems ask, takes about an hour or so... just remember to never touch the lights themselves

If you got a kit from vvme.com, they instructions are pretty crappy but still usable. If you run into the high/low beam problem where they're switched just swap the wires. I didn't have that problem.

I know what you mean it was hard for me to tell, my only advice I can give you is test it when it’s really dark out... then you will be able to tell.

or when you’re putting your beams against the wall... the low beams should be more direct... so you can almost see a horizontal line from the light... with the high beams its more spread out
