so i know this is a common problem, i have an HID conversion, low beams work but when i hit the switch for the high beams to come on and the lights go out but the yellow side lights on the headlight stay on, as well as my side marker

tia.

 

what year civic is this?

 

Most likely, you needed Bi-xenon HIDs (both hi and low beams), however a Xenon (single) kit was installed. No high beams now.

 

^ thats what i thought but was making sure he's not talking a newer civic with separate high and lows

 

its a 98

 

ya if you have the cheap @ss standard hids, they have the HID low beam, and then they have a REALLY REALLY WEAK @SS halogen light for the HIGH beams!
and those high beams suck alot worse than the stock bulb does! if you wanna use your high beams then upgrade to the bixenon hids, most of them use a electro magnet that is powered with the high beams that moves the hid bulb slightly to give the high beam pattern, works pretty good on the ones i had.

 

you simply don't have high beams is what it sounds like

 

any way i can get high beams? or do i need the bi headlight thingy lol

 

wait you had high beam before HID's right? do you get a halogen high beam with your current hid?

 

idk if i had highs before HID's i just bought the car and the HID kit was already on. i get no high beam at all.
