Default HID light problem

I just put in HID lights with projection assemblies. Everything on both sides is hooked up identical. Driver-side works passenger side won’t work. On the passenger side the bright light stays on all the time whether it’s on low beam or highbeam. No blown fuses I checked those. Anybody have a clue?

What HID assembly did you buy? If it is something with a high-4 harness, you swapped the low and high beams on your passenger side.

Bought from The Retro Fit Source. Plugs on high beam and low beam are different. They aren’t interchangeable.

Which harness did you get? Does the driver side high beams work properly?
