problem with projection lights on 4th gen

Hello guys:

How's everyone doing? Ok, i recently got these black projector halo lights. A friend of mine installed them. Ever since he installed them, i been having this problem. When Im inside the car I noticed that my high beam is on, and when i try to turn it off, it doesen't turn off. And the lights do seem a little bright and both of the bulbs are on, it's pretty darn bright... I wanted to know if you guys have any input on this? I would really appreicae your feedback and comments. (Brian, where u at? I think you know about this one)

Did he wire both the high beam and low beam signal to the same power source?

Yea it depends how your friend wired everything. If he didn't do any rewiring, then you have a short somewhere.

He said that he connected them back like they were on the OEM... what switch you talking about? the one wehre u turn on/off? it was working fine before we switched da lights? I don't know how he wired da low beam/high beam. Do they have different power source? So spin r g, u think I have a short somewhere? like my turn signals are just pushed there under the bumper, and one of the bulbs broke, now when i turn the right indicator signal on, it flashes really fast pace and the one on the left flashes at normal pace... im really confused since I have no knowledge on how this lighthing system works... I appreciate all of your guys input, thanks!!!

The high beam cable might have gotten pinched when he put the bumper back on.

Id have to go look under my hood because its been awhile..but I had al kinds of weird electrical lighting issues when I installed my projectors. In the end it all came down poor grounding of this small little white grounding box that is bolted to the sidewall where all the wires for the headlamps seem to run through. Check that and make sure its firmly bolted to the side.

Thanks guys! I really appreciate all of your guys' input. I am going to check if any of the wires are pinched. And I am going to try to find the white grounding box... is it on side towards the fender? I am going to try to search for that because im thinking that might be it. And speaking of it firmly being bolted to the side. I think one of my corners is missing a screw, beacuse sometime it comes outa little bit... and i have to hit it in hard so it will go back to place... Once again thanks for the input guys, I really appreicate it!!!
