You will get more responses if you post the exact specs of the kit you purchased (manufacturer, model, options, website, etc.).

Simply posting "I bought some stuff off eBay and it doesn't work" usually won't get many responses.

got a link to these 'right bulbs'? Unless they were specifically listed as a bi-xenon kit, then they don't have high beams...most standard low cost kits do not have high beams.

As shotgun said, a link to the actual product or listing on ebay or wherever/whatever you got would be great.

do you have the lights on AUTO? put the lights ON Manual. mine HI's will only work with the lights fully ON and NOT on auto turn the **** right all the way

prob treied everything, but something that stupid fixed mine.. good luck, I love my HID'd but they are a pain in the ***! I had one of my ballasts KO and had to hook directly up to the battery!!!

Did the kit come with instructions? Some cheap kits have the wires crossed.
