I am lost MSP lights in P5

So i ordered MSP lights for my protege 5 not thinking about the differences in the 2 lights. I can not get them to work right. I wired them up logically or so I thought. They work in high beam setting no matter where the switch is at. I tried swapping the wires for the high and low beam but nothing works. Please if somebody has a walk through or wiring diagrams please let me know. I have searched and searched and can't find anything to help me with this issue other than people going from MSP to P5 lights. I understand that the MSP lights are internally grounded but I am stumped. Please help.
 
So to update I disconnected the high beam wires and the low beams now work but my turn signals are still blinking like there is a blown bulb, and I still need to get the high beams to work right though.
 
So I searched some more and I saw it said that the Low beams on the P5 are switched power and the high beams are switched ground. Then it was said that the MSP/Sedans use a constant power and switched low beam and high beam ground. I keep trying to figure out how to make this work but I just can't seem to figure it out. I thought running a constant power and having the other two posts on the H4 Bulb be grounds but that wont work due to the low beam being switched power. I know I am just completing a circuit but the wiring diagram I have doesn't show the headlight system in detail. I am really stumped here and could use some help.
 
Ok here is another thought. If I take and use the P5 High beam constant power source and use it as a common power then i wire The Switched power wire to the low beam prong and the High beam switched ground to the high beam prong would the switched power wire for low beams become a ground or would it simply be providing power to the low beam prong and not completing the circuit?
 
or the other way you do is go on ebay and buy a H4 HID hi/low kit thats what i did. Its plug and play=)
 
Hey evade, did you have any issues with the turn signals? My left turn is blinking like crazy, I originally thought it was because my bumper marker was turn off in my accident but it is still blinking fast (except the headlight turn which doesn't blink at all) even though I removed the wiring for the markers with the fogs when I first removed the bumper.
