High-beams don't work after H4 Upgrade - Help

I upgraded my 86 Carrera's headlights to the brighter (and better looking) H4's. After that I installed the relay kit as I heard if you don't you'll go through a lot of fuses.

For some reason when I push the lever forward to activate the high beams the headlights turn off and the blue dash indicator does not go on.

Any Ideas?......

Post a picture of the wiring you performed at the fuse box.
When you push the lever forward do you hear a click in the new relays?

Looks like it should work. Do you have a meter? Test to see if you have continuity between fuse 7&8, as well as between fuses 6&5. Maybe the link in the fuse panel is bad on the high beam one. My wiring looks the same except I have the top white wire on fuse 8.
If you have the hood and window open, ignition and lights on, you should be able to hear the relay pick up (Click) when you actuate the high beam switch pulling or pushing.
