Firstly hi to all, im new here!
I am in the motor trade and have had a few cars which ive fitted HID headlamp conversion kits too, and my scooby is no different except ive hit a snag, the car is a 1999 on a 't' place classic wagon, but i cant make any sense of whats happening at the 3 pin connector for the headlamp bulb?? and therefore i cant seem to make the HID kit work on both main and dip beam?? Has anyone had this kind of problem, or got any ideas??
Any assistance would be greatly appriciated!
Cheers guys.

The impreza uses a switched earth whereas most other cars will run a switched live feed. This means that rather than a single earth pin and 2 lives (one for main and one for high beam) you will find exactly the opposite

Thank you very much, sometimes you just need another brain on the case, makes perfect sense and have worked out how to make my kit work!! Cheers again mate!!

Glad you've sorted it, the usual solution is to earth the Ballasts directly to the chassis.

Hi matey, i did try that right at the start but since it requires the earth to switch that would only operate one or the other, thanks for the input tho!! im new here but have plenty of experience in motorsport and vehicle tuning and i run an mot station in surrey so if i can be of any assistance please give me a shout, Cheers again!
