Just hooked them up but my hi/low is opposite. Such as low beams are high and high beams are low. The high beam light is on when my low beams of my hids are lite. How do I fix this?

I know you said your doing this left to right but do you mean by standing in front of the clip (open end) or flat flush end?

what's it doing? when you have them right you lows will be lows for your Hi's you'll have you push the stick forward. If you pull back on the lever for flash to pass and you get nothing you have them right.

Make sure you post some output pictures. Cause no one will post Hi/Low configuration against a wall and on the road with the DDM setup.

Yes but I can tell they arent wired right cause I get more distance with the highbeam dash light off. I can see where the beam is with the dash light on (low beams) cause the hid lights drop in front of the truck. With the dash light off you can tell its the high beam. I know it sounds confuesing.
