have you double checked all the fuses? all the connections, and double checked all the insturstions
did you run a wire to the highbeams or not?
if not you need to run the green(if i remember right) wire to the hot post on the battery

Dont use the wire color codes they could be wrong because the colors were different from what my instructions said. Look at the bottom of the relay you will see numbers.

#87 goes to the Hellas
#86 goes to the high beams
#85 goes to ground
#30 goes to positive battery terminal

Can you hear the relay clicking???

then the highbeam wire should be connected to the postive battery post.
