I've swapped driver side bulb with passenger and there's been no change.

I recently bought a Z4MR that has SONAR lights which are the original manufacturer of the Spyder lights. Had the same issue that high beams were always on. I fixed mine a couple of weeks ago by rewiring the lights similar to the post by Nate above (though I had not seen his post until today).
The relay is not wired properly for our cars. If you use a multimeter you can map out the function for each of the connectors on the OEM side of the 8-pin block connector and which colors these correspond to on the aftermarket side. You'll see that the 12V lead for high beams is red on the Spyder side. Then look at the port the red is connected to in the relay. It's never triggered by the control signal. The low beams are…
I ended rewiring such that my low beams are always on (if the lights are on) and the high beams come on with the stalk pushed forward as you'd expect. So my high beam setting has all 4 headlights lit up. If you want the high to only have the two inner lights on and the outer lights off, you would need to add an additional relay in the mix.
I'll try to get a picture of how I rewired things sometime soon.
