I bought new HID for my max. The Installing is easy to install but im stuck on one thing. The Wires that comes from the HID are blue and brown. Then the wires from the stock are green, black and yellow from the left and black, blue, and green from the right side.
Now i got the HID to work with blue(HID) to black(stock) and Brown(HID) to green(stock)
But now the guestion is when i turn to HIGH beam it turns off WHY is that
Can anyone help me

coming from the car...are ur 3 wires. one is for low beam....one is ur high beam.....the other is ur ground wire.

if my sorry a$$ skills and memory serve me any good....i wud say that u have ur lights connected only to ur low beams. and ur high beam wire is just sitting doing nothing.

thats how my hids are set up. theyre only on when my low beams are on. once i click the headlight switch to high beams....the hids turn off cuz nothing is hooked up to the high beam wire.

i took my high beam wire and wrapped it in some electrical tape and tucked it away nicely.
thats how i did mine and i guess thats how i wud explain it. if anyone else has a better explanation....please correct me if im wrong.

i got xenon conversion kit

As for the 3 wires, i got two connected to the kit and one doing nothing. I did try hooking that one with one of the wires but nothing happen.

Is hard to tell which one is for cause from the ballast there is blue and brown

and then from the car there is green, black and yellow and then blue, black and green

it looks easy but then you get stuck on something

But is it a bi-xenon kit? We need to know that. Chances are if you don't know the answer to the question, then it isn't bi-xenon and your setup is wired correctly and you have no high beams because it's not bi-xenon.
