HID problem

The new HID kit I just bought comes with 1 red wire and 1 black wire. However, the connector on my car has a red/yellow wire, a black wire, and a red/blue wire.
Which wire do I connect the 1 red wire to???

I think on your stock setup, the black will be ground, and then you'll have a low beam 12+ and a high beam 12+.
Be sure not to hook up one on low beam and one on high beam, do either or.

I got them to work on low beam, but they don't work on high beam... like the light turns completely off. Anyone? Any ideas?

HID's are only one beam.
They don't have high/low.
Just hook them up either on high or low, which ever position you like to put your light swich in and carry on.

No high/low, just one beam.

Yup unless you bought some hella spendy HID's most are only low beam. I have black depos which give me a HID low beam and a separate halogen for high.
