Well I got them to light up, but I still have one problem. My high and low beams are switched. I've tried switching around the relay wiring and also switching the bulbs locations, but I guess I can live with that for now. I'm going to wash my car. I'll get some pics when it gets darker tonight.

I had a similar problem with my 2001 Mustang and my stangmods kid. They suggested I switch the wires around in the stock headlight connector and in the HID connector, none of the above worked. I ended up having to get the wiring (just the wiring, no bulbs or ballasts) replaced in order to get it to work. So you might want to email the ebay guy you got this from and ask him for replacement wiring.

I got the 35W, 6000K, BiXenon kit from Retro-Solutions.com and they are great. True plug & play with a lifetime warranty. I think they're the best of the kits.

if your problem is that when you switch to high the beams shoot down, and on normal they are level. The fix is very simple. Take out the bulb, rotate the bulb 180degrees in its axis and mount it again. Do the same with the other bulb. The way these kits create a high beam is that they tilt the bulb down allowing for an up refection.

My only issue with my kit was that the diodes were in backwards. This killed the lights under high beam mode.

How do you rotate the bulb? It only fits one way into the headlight housing.

there are 3 teeth in in the h13 bulb. You should be able to rotate one tooth over clockwise. keep going till you get the correct beam pattern.
