Projector Headlight Confusion

Hi I have a 93 Honda Prelude S 2.2 and i just installed new projector headlights and when i turn the headlights on both of the lights come on and it gives me the high beam indicator inside on the dash and if anybody knows anything about this please comment.

If you wired it correctly then it's just cause those projectors are pieces of junk. I've heard multiple instances of this happening.

ebay projectors???the same happened to me, they are nice looking headlights and work very well, but are hunks of s**t as far as it working with the stock electrical system. my problem seems to be caused by the bulbs that came with the lights; and once i put the stock high beam bulbs in, they worked fine, only that the stock lights dont fit into the projector housings. so, i dont know, maybe try different bulbs that aren't halogens? just a suggestion. ill try it and let you know if it works

i have them... but i always used HID... so i dont have a clue why they both go on...

maybe because they share the same ground?

but the stock lights connects directly to the car wiring, or you wire the stock lights with the wiring (using the cables inside) of the projectors headlights?

If it's not too late I'd return those things, JDM headlights are better looking and wont give you these kinda troubles.
