sorry guys, 2000 Maxima, it happen after I changed the light bulbs so when I turn my lights on, its the opposite of what it should be, high beams are now my lows and the low beams are my high beams, could it be the relay?

what kind of bulbs did you buy? sounds like leads for high and low are switched. there is only one way to plug them in so it must be the bulb...

youve got regular H4 bulbs.....its damn near impossible to push the plugs in the "wrong" way...which MAY show some sign of this.....

this is strange though

Does 9006 have the same 3 pin config.? and is it a dual filament?

I think those Hellas were made the wrong way. One way to find out is to put back the original bulb(s) if they haven't burned out and see if the lows and highs are still reversed. Or buy another brand.
