I just installed my new bi xenon kit for my 10' lb. I have everything wired up as the instructions say so but no light??
If I flick the hi beam I can see the bulb move but still no light??
It's like there is power to it but not to sure if the globe is just dead or what?? Please help me!! Any ideas on what's wrong?

switch the wire going to the battery if you got red for positive put that wire on negative terminal and black ofcourse on positive terminal ..that should work..if your not using relay.. switch the socket from the ballast and just turn it around

What's the reverse grounding system?

Toyota headlamps use a ground switching system, this means that there is a common positive and when you switch from high to low the relay switches which side is grounded.
Other vehicles have a common ground and switch the positive side.

Do you have any details on the kit you installed?

Basically what the guys said above, the stock bulbs have a constant power, and switched ground for low and high beams.

But I think we need more info to go on. Just double check the wires and get back to us.

Hey guys thanks for the help!
I finally got it. I had a kit with no ground which is apparently the new style.
I took it back to the guy I bought them off I thought they were dodgy but he said the original bulb connection wasn't producing enough power.
He then gave me the new cables with the grounding wires. Hooked them up now it works fine!
Looks great too, really happy with them. Led parking bulbs really make them look a whole lot better too
