help with headlights from ddm

Allstar_e36 · 07-15-2008, 04:55 PM

Hey guys,
Ive been trying to figure this out for a while, and im stumped.

i bought apexcone headlights from ddm with 6000k hid and AE's

i wired them up and everything, AE's are powered from the grey wire in the turn signals.

something is messed up because:

when i turn my car on - only the AE's turn on ( which is ok)
when i turn the light switch to position 1 - the AE's stay on buy the highbeams also turn on ( highbeams shouldnt turn on)
turn to position 2 - HID's turn on, highbeams are still on, AE's turn of
when i high beam - the AE's go i a little brighter

what have i done wrong, ive been trying to figure this out for weeks now, but i just can't.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

And from what i know i think it should be like this

0 is supposed to be off, or just angel eyes
1 is supposed to be angel eyes and parking lights,
2 is supposed to be lows and angel eyes, then highbeams.

Thanks for the link bud, but i need help on the actual wiring. so when ur looking at the plug on the back of the headlight, which wire goes on the top, right, bottom, left pin.
thanks

The wire for your AE's to the headlights should be swapped with the wire coming from the highs. The higs and lows also need to be swapped.

Thanks dbworld i will go try that

Just noticed you have HIDs, so you don't need to touch the HID wiring. Just swap the AEs with the highs and it should work.

Be careful, I blew an inverter having them plugged into the high beams by accident
