Switching the bulbs over to HIR's and now my high's aren't turning on. When I flash, they turn on and stay on until I release the lever switch. But when I push the switch away from me to turn them on, I get no light from them at all. Any ideas what to look at?? BTW before I started the switch, the high's worked just fine. Help!
No High's??

did you replace both the hihgs and lows? Using the light horn I beleive both high and lows are turned on. But when using the high beams only those are on. So if you worked on both sets and got the wiring confused then the highs would only come on while using the light horn.

So I went out, until the thunderstorm just moved in, and was testing different things. The original high bulbs WILL turn on and stay on as well as flash with the HIR's in the lows. The HIR highs will still only flash but not turn on. Kinda wierd, huh?? Yeah, all the wiring is correct, double checked everything.

At this point if it is possible to return locally.
Then I would return them and try a different set.
If the old ones work and you already did the take it apart put back together thang. Good luck.

I also put HIR highs in the low lamps and have swapped them all back and forth to no avail. To clarify, that is 4 HIR high bulbs in the low and high lamps. Again, the bulbs seem to be fine, they turn on and stay on until I release the switch on the flash function, but won't turn on to actually use the high beams.

So go out for a little night drive to test the HIR lows, since the highs weren't working. Start her up, get in, turn on the lights and WOW those high bulbs in the low lamps are BRIGHT. For the hell of it, I try the highs and they turn on. Tried them again and again, turned on and off every time. Does the engine have to be running for the high beams to be turned on?? Who cares, I have 4 HIR highs and am loving it! BTW, I tilted the lamps down a little, just in case it blinds someone. On the test drive no one flashed me so it looks like they'll be okay.
