Default HID hi/lo beam problem

I just got a 6k HID hi/lo beam kit and it works amazing but theres a small problem. Low beam flashed on high beam and high beam flashes low beam. And my fogs only work when the high beam is flashing. Anyone know why or where to start troubleshooting? Everythings setup right, and its the 2nd hid kit that ive installed....Any ideas????

a bit late, but sounds like you need a relay from my little experience with that, my hids dont have high beams just low, but u dont need high since theyre so bright, my problem is that on low beam the lights flash when the engine is on, but when i connected the lights to the high beam they didnt flash, so to this day i have to have my "high beams" on in order for the lights to work properly, my friend who had the same problem spent a 100 dollars at a shop to get it fixed with a relay....hope that makes sense, if not just pm me

You may have everything hooked up the way they said to but I will argue with you that something is not wired right? I have not messed with any headlight conversions myself but the problem you described sounds like you need to switch the wires you have connected with your low and high beams? I have done 15yrs security installation but never heard of a problem like this. A $100 relay[:-]?

Can you take a pic or give a link to what you have done?
