HID hook up problems

[midi73]

hello all you selectrical gurus. I have just fit up a pair of H4 Hi/lo HID lights. This is in a 73 serties landcruiser. Now I know that these cars are negative switching, and can be a bitch to sort out when rewiring etc.
Now the problem, This kit has a plug to plug into the headlight, so I havent changed anything in the wiring on the car. What is happening is, when I put the lights on high beam the HIDs work on low bean, but when I put the lights on low beam, they dont work at all. What do I need to change to rectify this?
Cheers.

Thanks for all your replys I have solved the problem. It was a broken low beam wire. I managed to dislodge it when I was fitting up the HID.

midi73 just out of interest, when you installed the HID's and switched them on highbeam does the blue light on the dash light up???

Yes. But I had already wired in relays for my high beam previously. To fix the high beam problem with that setup, I ran a wire from the second out pin on the 5 pin relay up to the dash. I cut the high beam wire to the dash and spliced the new wire into it. I taped the other wire out of the road. So I dont know what would have happened if it was normal set up.
