Default Fixed a small headlight problem with my C5's Depo headlights

My Depo headlights came from the manufacturer wired wrong, resulting in the low beam switch activating the high beam bulb and not the low beam bulb.....

Update:

I fixed the problem by simply unplugging the positive wires that connects to the bulbs, switched them around (low beam wire to low beam bulb and vice versa) while leaving the negative wires in the headlight assembly alone and voila! problem fixed:




Somewhere later down the line I will upgrade the low beams to 55w 6K hid that I have from DDM but for now I want to see how it performs at night like this.

Sorry for the earlier confusion in my thread folks!
