help!! help!! problems about the WRC head light installation

hi!! I am having a problem after I installed the WRC headlight, The high beam and the high beam signal were on. When I push to turn on the high beam, both light bulbs were on but those light are very very weak. So there is no low beam at all. I am not really sure if the wires that came with the headlight are mess up or not. but it is perfectly fit the to plug the wire from the car. So what I could do for it?? is it a problem if I just leave the high beam on?? or it may cause the shortage?? Thank for u guys help!!

Yes you can do it that way. The best way if you are able to do it is to release the pins from the connector and remove them with the wires still attached, then put them back in the proper positions. That way you don't have to cut anything.
If you do have to cut the wires and reconnect them, be sure to make the connections securely either with crimped butt-splices or by soldering. Cover the connections with heat shrink or electrical tape to protect them.
Make sure to keep the two black wires together. FYI they are not ground on the Subaru, they are common positive.
