On a 2002 Escalade...I just installed a 6000K HID kit..The lights are great but i have a problem when i switch my high beams on...When i click my high beams on the low beams flicker and sometimes shut off..In a 2002 Escalade are both the high and low beams supposed to stay on when you click the high beams?
I know the 03's all 4 lights are on when the high beams are on, I believe the 02's were the same

On my 2002, when the high beams are on, the low beams are off.

You need to get an aftermarket relay unit to hold the low beams on when the high beams are on.

Any ideas on what is causing the low beams to cut on and off when the high beams are on..And what exactly do i need in order to run both of them at the same time..What kind of relay is it?Where may i find it?

As said above the 02's turn the low beams off when the high beams are turned on, the 03's are not like that, with the 03's all (4) lights are on when the high beams are on. You can fix that with relays or a different wiring harness

I think JC Whitney has them.

Go to the part that says:
Dual Hi & Low Beam Activation Relay
This single relay will enable your 1988 and up GM vehicle to activate both the low and high beam headlights when the high beam headlights are activated. This can add to your visibility at night or in adverse weather conditions since all possible illumination will be activated in the high beam position. Low beam still operates low beam only. Can be used with day-time running lights.
