I ran into some problems with my High/Low beam headlights last night.
I have my HID installed 4 years ago, and the seller installed the HID. The seller now has disappeared, therefore, I have no way to ask him for any solution.
The HID kit is made by mccullough hid with low beam only "no extra bulbs non high beam", so whenever I turn on high beam, the HID will shut and keep in mind. The cluster "the blue light" has no indicator that shows my high beam is on.

Finally the day has come and I have to change to another HID kit,
since the old one is not running probably. Then I decided to install the High/Low beam HID. After I installed it, I realized the car allows low beam only and no High beam. Then I tired just a normal H4 bulb, unfortunalty, yes DRL and low beam but no luck with high beam.


My question is, does anyone have any experience with mccullough HID. Since its an old HID kit, does it required to disable highbeam in order to work? does it have anything related to wiring?


Thank You

check your wiring at the stock harness

Check to make sure ur High beam wire wasn't cut or spliced for the original install.

More the likely the installer was an idiot.

Since H4 bulbs use the high beam filament @ 30~50% power for the DRL, the installer more than likely removed the fuse or relay for the HIGHBEAM instead of the the DRL Fuse.

When you run an aftermarket HID Kit that doesnt have a running or CITY light, you HAVE to disable the DRL's, as you're lights could/will flicker and you would prematurely wear out your ballasts pretty quick as DRL's are highbeams @ 30~50% power output so its starving the ballast which = BAD.

SO if I were you, I would look at your high-beam fuses and/or high beam relay.

Good luck.

Also for future refernce, once you replace the kit with your new Hi/Lo Bi-Xenon kit, the ONLY thing you need to do to remove/delete your DRL's is remove the DRL Fuse from the fusebox. That's it, nothing else, butttt, some people are very stupid.
