Default Finally got my HID's in!

Honestly, I couldn't be more pleased with the output. They are my "eBay special" that happen to come with the headlights when I bought them so I will use them till they end up dying. So far no issues or flickering. Next plan is to throw them in my fogs.

And, somehow my high beams still work after being told I would need the bi xenon kit for them to work.

Does the other bulb in the headlight housing light up with the high beams, or does the hid get brighter, or are there 2 filaments in the HID bulb?

I was told I would need bi-xenon bulbs too. I would need a projector that is bi-xenon compatible to even get high beams to work...

I'll take a picture when I get off work. Both bulbs work. As the should, and the other bulb is the high beam. I was told I would need two hids kits to keep my high beams working correctly

Here are how the lights look with the high beams on. Didn't happen to think about this till I got home and they are on my garage. The light output looks pathetic compared to the HIDs.

Hey Fuugz, your high beams still work because they are independant of your low beam HIDs. You have 2 separate housings for your hi and low beams. This is unlike the stock housings where you have the hi and lows in the same housing....That requires a dual filament bulb or a deflector that switches when you flick the high beam switch on.

Lights look great man!!

Those look like you will be able to get a pretty good view of the road at night. Also some great looking headlights. Are those halo's or is it just the design look?
