   Just bought some and fitted them, ive fitted hid kits before never a saxo one though. ive bought the right kist H4 hi/lo. Its all wired up however when i attach the positive wire the lights come on themselve's, without the headlight switch being on. So basically there constantly on i cant turn them off. Any ideas?

   Is it a similar wiring situation to a head unit were there are two types of power...i.e. constant and switched? (never fittied anything other than standard lights before!)

   yea all connections are good and fuse's are fine. Think the kit maybe faulty?
   
   Edit: it is faulty..... nice one, so ive found one connection (within the shrink wrap) that wasnt crimped properlly, now both lights are the same brightness guess i gotta check every single crimp!

   yea well that was fun, there was 3 connections in total that wernt crimped properlly... thats all sorted now HOWEVER they wont switch off sometimes. guna give the company a bell tomorrow and ask for a new relay as im 99% sure this is also fubar'd, causing the problem i have now
