Headlight Issue...
Good afternoon guys. I've had Radioflyer's ACA Bixenons for a couple of years now and just today I wrapped up my bronze gear install on both headlights. Everything is wired up in exactly the same way as I took it apart. Problem is, when I connect the battery and open the driver door, the car is dinging like the lights are left on, but no lights are on. When I turn the switch to parking lights only, the parking lights turn on but the headlights pop up. When I turn the low beams on, the low beams do not come on. Finally, when I turn the switch to OFF, the parking lights go out but the headlights stay up. The car still dings at me like the lights are on... I guess my question is, what the hell did I do wrong? The connectors only go a certain way on the radioflyer headlights. The main headlight harness can only connect one way. Is it possible that the raising/lowering mechanism is 180deg out? Or the motors? Also, how does the car tell the ding noise to happen? Something in the electronics? I don't get it. Thanks for you help guys.

There is a possibility that the connector that plug into each ballast needs to be inverted to reverse polarities.
Some ballasts have their jacks with the polarities reversed. Give it a try and let us know

Hahaha ya know what? I did some research on the RF install and found that exact thing out. Like I said, it's been a while since I did the install. I reversed the ballast connectors and all is good! Thanks for your response man!
