It depends on what HID's you got, but 90%+ of the HID kits for single bulb cars eliminate the high beam function when wired up properly. You probably have to hook up one wire differently so that they come on with the low beams.

Thats close to what was happening to me. If you're in Canada unplug your DRLs. Once i unplugged my DRLs BAM everything worked perfectly.

Which HID kit do you have? You might have bad ballasts, if its a cheap no name kit. Did you just get it, or have you had it for awhile? If you have a voltmeter, check to see if the lights are getting any power to them when you turn them on.

I don't understand how the stock high beam bulb could even be in place. The 2005 Accent only has one bulb for high and low beam.

If it's a kit for H4 bulbs it should be right, but there is only one headlight bulb in the Accent housings so unless it's a Bi-Xenon bulb setup the HID kit will generally delete the high beam function.
