Default 8000k HID's

I am looking into getting some HID's for my truck. I was thinking about going with the 8000k HID's from Xentec. Does anyone know if they come with the high and low beam. I know that some do but i am not sure if the Xentec ones come with it. There are some on amazon for 79 dollars and i was thinking about buying them but i want to make sure they are high and low beam so i dont get that warning light. All thoughts are appreciated. Thanks

My buddy had 8000k's in his silverado and although they looked cool, the intense blue did not do much for seeing good at night. Because your so high up in the color spectrum you actually lose useable light and the higher the kelvin number the lower light output you get. I had 6000k's in my F150 and recently switched to 5000k's. The 5000k's put out a white with a slight yellowish color but wow I can see everything.

Do you guys think it would be bad to not have the high and low beam? And if i only get the low beam, is there any kind of warning light that goes on in the dashboard?

I had JLM's in my celica. Very good quality and lasted until I got rid of it.
