Default headlight problems!

my headlights are messed up, a week after i bought my truck the running lights stoped working. so we replaced the switch it didnt fix anything, just ended up bypassing everthing and using a toggle switch. that fixed that, but now i have 1 low beem and no highs. the lights are fine they are like brand new HIDs. does anyone have an idea what my problem is. I'm running out ideas plus I'm tired of my dad telling me i never should have bought itbut he might have been right

Go back to stock headlights. I tried hids for s while just a huge pain. Stock with polished lenses work amazing.

Did you have to split the stock wiring for two bulbs? Or is it still a single bulb set up?

It could be your Hi/Low switch on the column. I would look into that.
