Need Help With HID's and High Beams

Hi Guys,

I currently have my projectors wired with an audi h7 harness. I have another audi h7 harness wired for a separate high beam h7 bulb.

My problem is when i flip on my high beams, the low beams cut off.

I wanted to know if there is a way to wire the low beams to work consecutively witht he high beams.

I think I've seen something on the org before.

Please help

run a wire from the highbeam positive wire to the low beam positive.

don't just run a wire...put a diode in there a 1N5404 diode, but bsaically that is what you do...so your diode & wire will run to the positive of your projector so, that it gets constant power

He willl need to wire it before the ballast, connecting the low beam signal coming from the stalk to the high-beam one using the diode. Diode prevents any damage to the stalk and oem wiring..
