hey today i put in a new set of 90/100m h4 bulbs and ive noticed that on low beam my high beam bulbs are lit up but they are very dull. is this normal for them to be working when only my low beams are on?

You may have the wrong type of bulbs as it sounds like your low beam bulbs are using the high beam bulbs for an earthing circuit. Check the NEW high beambulbs against the OLD high beam bulbs....put them side by side and check the bases where they make contact.
Different types of bulbs have different bases - use the wrong type and all sorts of trouble will happen.
