ACA / JW HID Projector Install Help Needed - What did I do wrong???
Okay, installed my beautiful HID projector kit I got from JW Motoring. Basically an updated version of the ACA kit. Everything seems to work, lighting is amazing, just one problem... the high beams and low beams are swapped.
If I just turn my lights on normal, both the highs and lows are on.
If I flip to high beams, only the low beams turn on.
What did I do wrong? The instructions were good for the most part, but when it explained what harnesses to hook up, the colors they mentioned did match what I had, so I'm thinking my mistake was there.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. This is the most ambitious DIY job I've ever attempted, so I'm hoping I just screwed up something simple.

I would recommend anybody doing this mark them after disconnecting from the OEM housings. The instructions didn't describe colors that matched anything I had. Lights are PHENOMENAL though!
Will take pics and make a post about them when I have more time.Thanks again.

Did you have the lows and highs flip flopped?
On US cars highs are always the inside bulbs. The lows are the outside bulbs.
***Nevermind I just read it again.
I'll include that in the future if I get anymore. I'm so used to installing HIDS it's hard for me to write anything as a new customer would need them written.
