Uh, of course it should. When you put your high beams on, no matter what kit you are currently using, it should project the light UP (high)....

Let me ask you this... when looking into your headlight housing at the bulb(s), where is the halogen, above or below the HID?

I took a look a this, today morning..it's actually neither way

The halogen is pointing inwards, towards the radiator..on both sides.
And the HID are facing outwards , towards the sidewalks.. that's why at first I tough I had fit them incorrectly

Now that def sounds odd.

Take a look at my pictures posted above.. the halogen/HID one.

On a H4 housing, the bottom will be FLAT, to accept the FLAT section of the bulb when installed. To keep it lined up, while securing it into the housing, there will also be tiny little metal tabs.

Try removing one bulb, and snap a pic of its base for me.

Can you tell which bulb is lit when you turn the high beams on? I guess it's possible that your installer wired it wrong.

Looking at the car side of the connector you have three slots.

The vertical one on the right is always positive, the horizontal one in the middle-top is your low beam ground and the vertical one on the left is your high beam ground.

When High Beams are turned on, Halogen are turned on, but the light aim as if it were low, but even much dimmer than stock low.

BTW..thanks for the support guys..

I'll get the picture tonight, once I get gome...Also will take some of the balast placement I got..

Also, what would be the proper fitment, HID on top, and Halogen at bottom?

If this is the case, then mine are odd...

Re-read what I wrote.. the bulbs will only fit one way, if its indeed the correct H4 fittment.

But yes, the high beam halogen should be on the top, IF its like the halogen/HID picture I posted above.

Where's the seller, and all his support?

GabL · 11-13-2006, 04:36 PM

Anyone heard of Enon brand? Is it any good?

Yaris-TJ · 11-15-2006, 01:54 PM

hid prob.JPG

Here's a pic of my problematic HID..

one metal tab fits up, and the other 2 fit down. by doing this, high halogen is on right hand side..

is this correct?

*Chris07LB* · 11-15-2006, 06:26 PM

Again, that does look and seem very odd.

Out of all the high/low HID kits I have seen, where a halogen is used for the high beam, it was always the top bulb.

Have you contacted the seller for support???

Also, the base for an H4 should look like this.......

*Chris07LB* · 11-15-2006, 06:28 PM

After looking at your picture a little more, maybe they were not assy. correctly.

Is there a way to shift/turn the WHITE center, in the BLACK base, so that the halogen is on top, and the HID is at the bottom?

thanks for the feedback Chris, i've definitely contacted the seller today with this missplacement issue, i'll see his feedback.

I'll also check if I can disassemble the base and try to rotate it, to the correct alignment,

Thanks for your support

Whatever you do, don't get oil from your skin on the bulb! Wear latex gloves.

thanks for the warning Violin..one finall question...I hope this will make it...

I can get rid of the high beam, since it has a bolt that I can unscrew..

my question is, what is the correct position for the small rod on the hid? is it pointing down?

I 'll use this as a baseline, and get rid of the high..

the_saint · 11-16-2006, 10:58 AM

If you do happen to get the bulb dirty/oily/whatever. You can use denatured alcohol to clean it. I picked up a tin of it at home depot....I want to say it was $4. It's good insurance to have when dealing with hundred dollar lightbulbs.

If your going to go through that much trouble to now only have a low beam kit, for the price of a high/low, SEND THEM BACK!

I would not touch a thing, until after you hear from the seller.

Violin · 12-22-2006, 08:29 AM

I was planning on just putting the low beam only in the stock reflector and mounting it so I can use the factory adjusters like so:

My high beams would be mounted in the fog light position.

However, there is a ton of space in there. I just might put the low beam HID along with the Hella 90mm halogen high beam unit

sorta like this:

I could make aluminum shrouds and use a black ABS sheet to dress up the inside of the housing.

Decisions, decisions....
