I installed my DDMs today - but when I flip the hi beams one side goes up the other goes down...?

U can probably change the wire on the light socket so one is hi and the other is low that way they move the same.

If that's the case ill just live with it - really not interested in cutting and splicing wires.

you shouldn't have to cut and splice.... most connectors can come apart, and you simply move the pins around, then put it back together. I have seen plug and play kits before where the wiring was not correct, and the HID would not cycle from high to low. The issue for the ones I have seen was that the ground was in the wrong terminal on the HID plug.

Are your lights a Bi-Xenon kit?

Since you say that yours operate opposite of each other, my guess is that your HID plug has the low beam and high beam signals reversed.

might be something to check on yours... make sure the wiring for each side is identical.
