    High beams

    OK, I just noticed my high beam bulbs weren't working so I checked the fuse (it's good), then I replaced the bulbs with H7s. They are still not working. Can anyone help a brother out and suggest another trouble shooting step?

    do you have bi-xenons? if you push the stalk forward that is your xenon high beam. pulling it is only for flash-to-pass halogen. as for why the H7's arent working I'll leave that for somebody else to answer

    Have you checked all of the wiring? Mess with all or the wires going into the harnesses and make sure the grounds are good. If you have an electrical meter, check the voltages.

    Hermes, you are THE MAN!! I didn't know those only worked when you pulled the high beams. I re-read my book and it doesn't say that anywhere. I did notice that my Xenons worked hi and lo, but thought that the ohters would come on for hi as well. I feel like a jack-ass, thanks.

    It's a feature you (the dealer) can enable.

    I tried to get my dealer to enable the halogens to come on with my bi-xenon high's and they wouldn't do it. It can be done through programming and I got a friend to code this into my ZHP and ///M using his laptop.
