Urgent help needed-2002 wrx hid

Hi boys. I just got a co-way hid kit for my 2002 wrx. It's been hellish to install them. DRL were disconnected. The high beams don't work and the foglights turn on when they feel like it. What are we doing wrong???

Unless your kit is a HI/LO then your lights will not use the high beams...

my fogs turned on and off randomly when i first put my HID's in as well.... idk why but they just stopped doing it. I didnt redo or check anything, they just started working right.

They come on perfectly. Seems like there's not enough juice to power the high beams. we'll have to run a relay fot that, but not tonight. No foglights **** me off though. I love how the car looks with them on.
