Weird electrical thingy

I just got some different headlights off ebay. They are basically the same, just abright white with some dumb secondary blue bulb you can hook up to look rice.

 

So here's my question. When I plug them in, it causes my high beam lights ( two of the four in the grill) to turn on also. When they are on it does not seem that they are on high, just kind of like on as well as the replacements.

Any body know why? Why would these new lights cause my high beams to be on? I don't get it.

These lights come with H4 bulbs and they reverse the wiring on the hi/lo filaments. You need to re-wire the socket to reflect the wiring for the new lamps. Go back to the company you bought them from and as for corrected wiring so you can install them properly. I ran into this before on an old wagon but don't remember how I re-wired them. Good luck.
