Hello everyone

having some issues with my HID BI XENON

I know the whole dont put HIDs in halogen housings this isn't a discussion on that.

I have my relay in and the bi xenon will not operate on the Hi beam side everything is grounded....but when the car is off and i flash the hi beam stalk I do get the headlights to go on..... any assistance ?

Thanks

i forget what made mine do this, it was one of three things, the diode in myharness was backward, there are little "juimpers" you can add to the headlight bulbs i has to remove, and make sure you have everything plugged right

just actually replaced my harness today only things I can think of are
A. The high beam red/black are wired backwards (even though red to red black to black
B. Relay harness from HID kit is wired incorrectly connected to my OEM Connector

:dizzy:

Ok, here is a little info on how the lights work, which will explain why the wires are labeled as they are:


HEADLAMPS
The headlamp system includes the SCM, the EMIC, the TIPM, and the left (lighting) multi-function switch on the steering column. The headlamp bulbs have a path to ground at all times through their connection to the engine compartment wire harness. The engine compartment harness has takeouts with eyelet terminals that are secured by nuts to ground studs on the front end sheet metal within the engine compartment. The TIPM will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any shorts or opens in the headlamp circuits.

The SCM monitors a hard wired multiplex input to determine the status of the left multi-function switch and whether the headlamp high or low beams are selected. The SCM then sends the appropriate electronic headlamp switch and headlamp beam select switch status messages to the EMIC over the LIN data bus. The EMIC then sends the appropriate electronic headlamp request and headlamp beam request messages to the TIPM over the CAN data bus. The TIPM responds to these messages by providing a pulse width modulated voltage output to the headlamps through high side drivers on the right and left low and high beam feed circuits to illuminate the selected headlamp filaments. The TIPM also sends the appropriate electronic messages to the EMIC to control the illumination of the high beam indicator. When the optical horn feature is selected, the low beams will shut OFF about 200 milliseconds after the high beams are activated.

The TIPM also remembers which beams (LOW or HIGH) were selected when the headlamps were last turned OFF, and energizes those beams again the next time the headlamps are turned ON. The TIPM provides a battery saver (load shedding) feature for the headlamps, which will turn these lamps OFF if they are left ON for more than about eight minutes with the ignition switch in the LOCK position. The SCM and the EMIC each provide a fail-safe feature for the headlamps, which will cause the TIPM to turn the low beam headlamps ON automatically if there is no input available from the left multi-function switch. The TIPM also provides a fail-safe feature for the headlamps that will turn the headlamps ON automatically whenever a loss of CAN bus communication is detected with the ignition switch in the ON position.

Each headlamp includes an integral reflector adjustment screw (domestic markets) or screws (export markets) to be used for static aiming of the headlamps and front fog lamps.
