• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Installed retrofits & DRL delete. Help..

Like Bronco said that looks like a regular hid harness. I'm 99.9% sure the way those work is the bulb itself has a high and low like a halogen so when you switch to highs the bulb changes. With projectors the sheild drops which lets our more light but the bulb doesn't change at all. The TRS harness is made for the projectors which controls the shield. If that's not correct then someone can correct me but that's my understanding.

Except doesn't the shield go up for hi's? Moot point. LOL

He has the correct harness. A "Bi-Xenon" harness simply controls two electrical circuits.

First circuit is a CONSTANT powering the bulbs.
Second circuit is the Hi/Lo mechanism solenoids off the H1 projectors themselves (Red/Black) wires.

Obviously the input from the stock Hi/Lo (Blue Harness) is wired backwards causing the relay to switch off when the highs are turned on.

9004/7 Bi-Xenon Harness:

White: Low
Blue: High
Brown: Ground

On your Car:

Green: High
Tan: Low
Black: Ground

Snip them off. strip the ends and join the wires correctly. Test. It should work. Heat shrink or tape the exposed ends and you're good to go.

I dunno about that. My bi-xenon harness does not work with my projectors. It worked fine with my PNP bulbs. And when I test fitted the TRS harness that I got, the projectors worked as they are supposed to.
 


Definitely ordered the harness already.
Will try the Blake's advice tonight or tomorrow. Hopefully it works and I'm done! I'll keep the harness as a backup then.

I should say the "bi-xenon" part means it has a built in circuit to allow for the control of two lines. a typical, standard relays just re route your original input (stock wiring) into a higher amperage/voltage rated application.

In this case, the GP's tan wire (low beam) is a constant and (green wire) is the controlled circuit from the bi-xenon relay.

Damn. I thought I tried every configuration. Very well could be my bad. LOL
 
Did the wire switch today. Still no high beams.

I hit the hi beam switch boom lights go off.

Rewired it the original way.

Any suggestions?!
 


Has to be the pin location in the 9007 connector on the relay harness, have you tried re pinning the connector in various ways if it wasn't shipped already pinned for a 9007 application, I can't remember how i have mine.

Mine did this originally when i got my vvme kit. High beam indicator stay on full time?

Unless you tried all that.
 
Is it in anyway possible they sent you the wrong bulbs or lied about them being hi/low bulbs?

I got my hi/low 9007 bulbs from ddm tuning for my 97 and the highs worked but I never really needed highs due to that fact that the lows were really bright. Also, flicking the highs on and off will kill the ballasts over time

Its a projector so instead of moving the bulbs it moves the cutoff sheild for high/low function.
 


Just use the TRS harness and you do have to switch a couple pins around on which ever one has them. I just used a needle nose and did it. If you search the retrofit how to thread you'll find which ones to switch.
 
When I hit the Highbeams the lights go off, the indicator stays lit up as if the highs are engaged.

I ordered new H1 bulbs and the relay from TRFS, going to wait it out and try upon arrival.

With the retrofit source harness linked by somedude I shouldn't have to repin anything correct? It will be plug and play?

I did not change any wires on the GM factory blue end of the plug. I simply swapped the white and blue wire pins.
 
Being TRS it should be PnP but re arrange the pins according too what guy mentioned above for your current harness and it should work.
