Ok secured the ground better and that gave me 2 high beams and no low beams (or maybe both at once but I can't tell). And an inability to turn the lights off! When hooking up the battery the lights where off and then hitting the high-beam switch would turn them on but not off. Then when turning the light switch off the pods would lower but the lights stayed on. I checked the original harness and everything was working properly.
Convinced the relays where wired wrong I downloaded the schematic from the mfg website and with my poor understanding of electrical proceeded to change the wiring. Hooked up the battery and no lights but pleanty of smoke! Mostly from the steering column, but fried the original headlight harness that the new harness plugs into. Thats no big deal since you only need one with the new set-up so I can use the other, but on testing the wiring I now have absolutely no power coming from the switch. The main switch still works because all the other lights still work, but I'm pretty sure I fried the hi/low switch. Now I have to order a new one that I needed anyway cause the tab was broke and I had to manually hold the hi-beams on.
So I have screwed all this up and am no closer to figuring out why this system is not working properly. Wonder if I fried the relays now too.
Will be back with more questions once I get the new hi/low switch installed and replace any necessary wires. Untill then I guess I won't be driving at night.
