I have an issue where I think I'm running high beams all the time. I dont think its in the wiring, so maybe the relay isnt making the switch. On the automatic setting I it appears to be the high beams coming on, because when I pull the lever for actual high beams nothing happens. Not to mention that when the low beams (8k) are supposed to be on, they look like 4300k or 5k, very white.
Any ideas? Please help
Thanks

As of right now when lights are on automatic/low beams and I pull the lever for high beams, I can hear a clicking noise in the relay but the nothing happens with the lights. I'll check the 4 pronged wire but I dont think thats it.

Is the clicking the relay or the cut off shield in the projectors? I thought it was the cut off.
Crash/Mike, I know what the relay does; when I get a new one that works, will I still have this problem too? I know that the relay technically does not have anything to do with the cut off shield going up or down. I thought that this might be happening because of the missing relay/ballast/bulb.
Anything else it could be besides the Ground, Power, not swapping the white and blue wires, or Plugs hooked up incorrectly???

anyone else getting a slight flicker in the light as the car moves?
Its almost as if I accelerate and the light starts to flicker "lightly" it almost looks like a strobe light set to the highest possible speed almost to the point that it would appear as if their was no strobe.

Also check the wires on blue plug to make sure they are making a solid connection a couple of mine had to be crimped/soldered

Ya I've read most of the stuff. I don't see how people messed up the round 4 pronged plug lol, seems to me it only goes in one way. Anyway I looked a little closer last night and two wires got separated on the driver side headlight so I'm almost positive that was it lol. I've been doing work in the parking garage at UF where my car is, so light has been an issue. I attribute that to missing this earlier

My guess is the connection to the + terminal is not holding up to well, or the wire has a short in it somewhere.. It would make sense that its a problem with power supply since the wire is that much longer to reach the right headlight. If the flickering gets any worse, I will investigate.

what can cause the flicker? Are there any specific points I should be looking at on these headlights? I scoped out my connection points to the power terminal and frame and they appear fine. I followed the wires as well and they seem complete and undamaged and zip tied in areas away from moving parts. Nothing is in a location where water can directly pour onto them.. Im confused as to why they are flickering now and they only flicker pretty much to throttle response?
Its just the passenger side headlight.
