Only problem is my lights are opposite... passenger is stuck on high beam during low beam and switches to low beam when i turn on my high beams....
unhook one light, switch from hi to low, then plug in the other light back in

Try switching the blue/white wires back to normal then swap the brown/blue wire. Ive actually had to do that on a set.

mkulrey13 would the blue and white wires being crossed incorretly cause my brights and dims to be switched, (my dash says brights are on, but there is the cutoff). The lights work fine, and switch between dims and brights. I just want to make sure before i take the headlights back out again and adjust wiring.

i think i am having the the same problem, i have an 06 and i have them plugged in to adjust cut off but it looks like the highs are lit on the passanger side and lows on driver side, and switching them between high and lows it doesnt do anything

just to clear things up are these two wires that are circled the ones that need to be swiched?

question. How do we switch the blue and white wires on the 9007 connector? do we just pull them out and push them back in or what?

only switch the wires on the new harness, not the stock one. And you can use a tiny flathead to pinch the prong and then pull out.

i will take pictures of the left and right wiring of the plugins.If your one of your projector is low and the other on high try lookinging at your fuses cuz that happened to me.

Guys, I will say this again..We test every projector before it leaves. If it doesnt work properly..something is not connected or crossed or something. And yes check fuses as well. 99% of the time its user error. Make sure your red/black wires are connected to a switched power source, also make sure your connector comming from the headlight is tight and the cap twisted on. Also make sure the pins in the blue connector are not bent from swapping the blue/white wires.

My lights have been fine for a week until last night. One of the halo's went out. Wiring is secure, and nothing is loose... Email sent

Funny thing, my friend asked "did you wire up my new lights to wink at me?" haha... nope, but it was only one halo.

k guys here is the wiring for the low and highs to work on BOTH projectors
Right Projector wiring:http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h7...9/102_1888.jpg

Left projector wiring:1 is brown,2 is blue and 3 is white http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h7...9/102_1885.jpg

so yes its pretty much the same for both.If this does not work CHECK YOUR FUSES!!!!!! as for the halos i havent had any promblems BUT mine did go out for a while.All i did was unplug the halo wire that you connect to the ballast and plug it bak in and it worked again.hope this helped
