Installed the CRGs, taking the good advice from a recent post. They look great, are rock-solid, and I even can see to the rear. I'll post a photo in a day or two.

But now a question I'm embarrassed to ask. I installed halogen headlights which really help my old eyes but somehow the high beam is low and the low beam is high, I can't think that the bulbs are different and I don't think I connected anything backwards but...

Anyone know what I did wrong?

I believe the bulbs are the same. It is the coating on the headlight housing itself which creates the "high beam/low beam" effect.
Try switching the wires from the way you currently have them connected. With any luck it will solve your problem.
