bi-xenon high beams wired with write up
here is for you guys with bi-xenon projector retro fits 
ok so i haven't gotten a chance to wire up my relay kit for the stock wiring harness but i also did not want to go on with out high beams. Also i wanted to be able to use my stock high beam switch instead of having to use a gay push button. The setup was easy cost $1.72 for 2 30 amp diodes from radio shack couldn't have been easier.
****This is for 9004 headlights probably used for others****
TOOLS:
2 - 30 amp diodes
wire cutters
saudering iron
electrical tape
voltage meter (optional)
1. locate the stock highbeam wire. This is the easy part if your not sure use a voltage meter and test the current when the high beam is on. Low beam will be negative the high beam wire will be active.
2. Connect the power wire from the highbeam shutter and stock high beam wire together.
3. Connect the ground wires from the stock wiring harness and the highbeam shutter together.
4. Locate the low beam power wire and ballast power wire.
(should already be connected together if the hid's are already installed and properly functioning)
5. grab one of the diodes from the package. On the diode there will be an end that has a darkened/lightened tip (depending on the diode purchased) Now take the high beam power wires and attach them to the end of the diode that is not closest to the shaded area.
6. attach the power wires to the diodes on the opposite end. Tape up both ends to prevent unnecessary grounding. and your done. Finish up re-installing the hid assemblies and test them out. You're high beam shutter should throw open smooth and evenly on both sides.
Repeat for each side.
As most of you know the diode is restricting constant power from traveling backwards and keeping the shutter open constantly. The diode only allows electricity to flow in one path. Once power is ran to the high beam it opens the shutter while allowing your hid ballast to stay on avoiding potentially dangerous rapid flickering.
any questions don't hesitate to pm me.
