Low Beam Headlights Issue

[teh smithers]

EDIT: Original problem solved. Common sense restored.

New question: My bulbs are 3000K HID's. and they give off a "something is burning" smell. Granted, they haven't been switched on in over a year, so are the gases burning in again? Or is this normal?

Also, they're extremely hot to the touch.

I think the "low" position you are talking about are the parking lights, so your low beams shouldn't go on. The "high" position is when your headlights should turn on. I think your only problem is that your high beams are coming on when you turn your headlights on. Which I would think is not right but I don't know s14s perhaps they are meant to come on but at a lower brightness. Correct me if im wrong.
the extremely hot part is worry some though. maybe someone else know what that could be.

:hide: Wow. You, sir, are correct. With the stalk itself in the low position, and the switch rotated all the way forward, I get just my low beams. Which is what is supposed to happen. Imagine that! That's what I get for not driving the car for a year.

I can install new harnesses, but can't operate headlights. Makes sense.
