Sounds like a problem with the harness. Please tell us which brand harness you have. Try disconnecting it and reconnecting the stock harness to see if it's your harness or maybe your bulbs or fuse.

when you connected the harness and matched the colors, it might not be the same wire try differenct combinations

Sounds like some of the wires are switched around. Do your low beams work fine?

Compare it to this wiring diagram.


This might also be of assistance. There is a pic of a wiring harness on the site.

You might be able to use a voltmeter or a multimeter to measure the voltage. I suspect something screwy but I'm no electrician.
