There was an issue with the high beams when the evolution 2's first came out. I think it was more to do with a slow response when turning them on/ off though. I know that issue has since been corrected not sure that could be the cause of your issue or not.

With the issue persisting when lamps and anti-flicker harnesses swapped, the problem would seem to be the passenger side factory harness. Ensure you don't see any corrosion or perhaps an almost broken wire for the high beam pin. Bad connections can be a real pain to isolate. Good luck.

Can someone tell me what each of the 3 wires going to the headlight plugs do? High beam = one color, low beam = different color, common = last color, I just need to know which colors do what.

If unsure about possible loose contacts, a little bit of conductive grease (NOT dielectric grease) on the exposed metal can solve it -- the contact will spread over an area, rather than a loose point.
Care should be taken to not allow this grease to bridge between different wires.
