There is one bulb called bi-zenon, it uses both the high and the low all in one buld. Some use the HID as the low and Halogen as the high. The brightest ones are both HID as the high and low. I have 30000k HID'S for my low and halogen for my high, i never use my highs. the low is bright enough,,,,,,

Default HID

CumminsPower,

I had finally given up on my lights and decided to go to HID. I have the non-sport edition and I purchased the bi-zenon style to have high/low in one. There is alot of information if you click here. I bought a plug and play kit and was not impressed as I had to angle my headlight way down, and that still did not help with getting flashed. So I just broke down and did a retro. I put projectors into the light buckets.



I am still working out the fine tuning for the aiming and once I get it right, I will get some more pictures. This last picture shows the projector attached. I covered the bulb and painted it all black to cover the brackets until I can figure out what I want to do for a shroud. The shroud that I had did not work out because of the size of the projector, so right now I am shroudless.....
