Question Help!!! Headlights stuck on highbeam

I INSTALLED A 9007 HIGH/LOW HID KIT. NOW THE HIGHBEAMS ARE STUCK ON IN THE LOWBEAM POSITION. AND MY FOG LIGHTS WONT WORK. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY IDEAS FOR A FIX? I ALREADY HAVE THE DRL RELAY DISCONNECTED.

Did you originally have one bulb for high beam/lowbeam? If not try wiring it to the low beam bulb. If you bulb was previously a dual filament bulb you may need to get a battery relay harness so that the hid,s only work with low beam on and then the fogs should work.

Essencially the battery harness only sense when the is power to the light, and then it turns the ballast on. Why would anyone need high beam hid;s anyway?

yeah it is a single bulb dual filament stock. the hid kit came with a battery harness as well. both sides have a lead that goes to the negative terminal of the battery, and there is a fused lead that goes from the positive side of the battery to the harness. then from the harness it goes to the 2 ballast.

Hi, did you make sure your car is not set on high beam? because stock car when the high beam is on the Fog light will go off. and did you get a dual filament HID kit?

OP we had the same problem with our bugeye when we installed our kit, the problem is in the wiring. BeE_JiZZeLs - is correct. you need to switch some of the pins in the plug where it plugs into your cars factory harness.
