a yellow wire? never had a yellow wire on any of my hid kits ive had on my cobalt but 1st off start off with looking at the box that the hids came in becouse you might have just ordered the 1 beam setting youll know if its the hi an low beam setting if it says BI-HID
hope that helped a little

yes it does and has like two bulbs for each like light but there together i just dont understand why hooking them up normally wont work the high beam.

can someone actually make a like how to on here how to install them all on there own. because i would like to i guess just reinstall with someone says as a high beam with the hids also.

well i looked and the stock harness has 3 prongs 1 for low beam 1 for ground and 1 for high beam and the ballast and the harness only has 2 1 for low beam and 1 for ground. theres no third anywhere. So i have the hids capability to run high beam but it wont run it.
