Are they supposed to be a single beam or bixenon kit? I'm imagining you have a peanut bulb for the high beam?

My best guess is the wiring to the plug is incorrect. There should be a high power, low power and a ground....they should line up with the vibe's h/l/g

its bi-xenon kit....are you talking about the plug for the stock bulb?

A bixenon kit with hid high and low on a "flexible" bulb is a slightly different story, but yes, I'm talking about where the wiring harness would plug into your stock plug. There should likely be a brown wire (ground), white wire (low beam power), and blue wire (high beam power). I'm wondering if they're in the wrong configuration for the vibe...?

thats what I was think but I looked at the stock plug on my vibe and all 3 wires are red...but if that is the issue then how would I go about changing the wires around. Would i have to cut all 3 wires and buy a new plug?

You should be able to back the pins of the wiring harness out using a tiny screw driver..then you can pop the prongs onto the OEM socket to see which combination works properly
