yea i had bought a back up relay and changed it and stil highbeam out and both high and low beams was on, so i did the "cut the 87 pin" still got the same out come, my next step is to try and look at the connections, i wonder did he mean the connections to the harness or to the bulb tho

I haven't had any problems Since. That was just over a yr ago. If the pins look dark or black, they a burned. If they look light green. They have been wet and have oxidized. Both will cause poor current flow and the warning light to come on. I used a Very small flat head jewellers screwdriver to scrape them clean.
where exactly are the pins that you cleaned im not sure which ones you meant

I'd like mine disabled as much as the next guy, but I haven't seen a method that works for sure problem free for 00-04. And no one seems to have any idea either

Probably throw the high beam out message and then your regular headlights would come on

Because your computer is thinking the high beam is out it will trip the low beams on. Occasionally when I try to use my signal and I pull it back and hit the "flash to pass" the left side light doesn't come on right away, on comes the "light out" warning and all 4 lights come on.

I'm back to square one, lights gone on the dash with a new relay. Did BBEngineering leave here? I hear that his harness works without any issues.

Check the pins on the harness at the connection to the bulbs. If the last owner put HIDs in without the complete kit. The extra heat would melt the plastic. If the connector wasn't seated to the bulb correctly then water would get in and cause the pins inside the harness to oxidize. It would be the same color as the Statue of Liberty. Either way, if that is the problem, putting new bulbs in will not solve it. Also, finding something to circuit in each pin to clean it is hard. I used a Very small jewelers flat head, a lot of scraping and lot of patience. Be careful if you find it to have been burned. The plastic of the harness will be brittle. Hope this helps.
