I just installed my bi-xenon and my cluster says the High beams are on Constantly, I hit the high beam switch and nothing happens. Any suggestions..?

Your car's telling you that you have a headlight out, because with a Bi-Xenon harness.......your stock headlight circuit is only switching a relay......therefore, there is less of a load on the circuit (as if one, or both headlights were out). They make resistors for that (I may even have one).

Lots of the times when a 9007 application has this problem, it is because the harness is setup for a 9004 setup. the plugs are identical, but they are wired differently.
Since I do not know the specifics of your kit, I cant go into much more detail, but usually swapping a couple wires around in the harness takes care of the issue.

^^ this.
Had to do this on my winter beater 98 Plym Neon 9007's
volt tester can be your best friend in situations like this to find the trigger lead on your relay that comes with the kit.
I third this! get your haynes book and look at the wiring diagram for your headlights, and switch the plugs so they are right. I did it and mine worked perfectly. also dont forget to do the drl disable.

If the problem is the
high beam indicator (as you say), then "insufficiant load" is your problem (providing that everything seems to function properly), & all you need is a resistor.
If the lights are "stuck" in high beam position, and
do NOT function properly.......the problem is more than a "cluster" issue, and you should swap "trigger wires" as suggested above^^
Good luck!

The OP stated that nothing happened when he hit the high beam switch. Yes, a resistor or capacitor is needed in many applications to fix problems such as this, but the J-body is not one of them.
Had to do the same thing with my VVME kit.
I own a 99 Sunfire, and did not do a DRL fix..........the high beam indicator was "on" always (once I plugged in a bi-xenon harness), until I installed a resistor.
The same was so for the signal indicators, when I converted all park/signal lights to LED
Yea looks like a resistor is needed, I have the Bi-xenon so only the driver side actually plugs into the relay(if you follow me) so i just plugged another stock bulb in the passenger side socket and bam! hi and low beams...Anybody know the resistor load or how it should be positioned in the Bulb harness?
