were those the bulbs that came with your hid kit?? If not maybe the're just not compatible

they should all be compatible unless maybe you have 55w bulbs in 35w ballasts.



im not sure you can use hids in your high beams unless you disabled your drls.

cause the low voltage definitely wont work with the ballasts.

lets see what some of the other guys say

try disabling the DRL / AUTO lights...



Your highs are also your DRLs.

Even if/when you are able to make it work...its not a good idea.

- Its dangerous to oncoming drivers (high beams have no cutoff, glare everywhere) and

- The on/off cycles when you do dim in time, and the long strike time (10secs to come to full power at 55mph is a long time) will kill the bulbs in short order...
