Default Dual HID Issue

Ok so i've already searched the forum on this issue and can't find a solution. I have a 2001 Sport with a Bi-Beam HID harness with relay kit paired with aftermarket single bulb headlight housings. Now it seams to me as if the low and high beam positions are switched. The low beams look like highs and when i put i the high beams they point toward the ground as if they are supposed to be lows. Now I don't know if this is because i need the Spec-D projector harness for the sport model or if its because the harness came with backwards wiring. The harness I have is for the 9007/HB5 bulbs. Can anyone shed some light? Thanks.

Pulled some wiring diagrams and the HID harness had the low and high beam wires switched. So I just used a pick uncliped them and swaped positions

That seems to be standard behavior for the aftermarket companies. I have been seeing threads of this nature since I joined here. The companies MUST be aware of it, yet nothing changes. Curious.
