Installed HIDs - high beams don't work - Help!

I installed 2k3 HIDs in my 2k1. Since these were removed from a 2k3 and not purchased new, I cut the plugs from the 2k3 and transferred them with the housing into my 2k1 (and cut the 2k1 plugs and transferred those to the 2k3).

I thought I wired everything correctly b/c the clearance, turn signals and low beams (HID) work fine. When I flash the high beams the clearance and low beams strobe and the high beams do not come on.

Also, the high beams don't work in the 2k3 with the 2k1 lights. The turn signals, clearance and low beams work though.

The grounds should be fine for the high beams. I think the + are wired correctly too. Is there something I'm forgetting? An extra fuse somewhere? How did you guys wire them? Thanks.


(I posted this in 5th gen too but since this is an electrical question I thought I'd try here too)

Well I unhooked the high beams at the housing. But when they were hooked up yesterday I think I remember that the indicator was always on. WTF is going on?
