A question to my riders running HIDs, are you running them on your high AND low beams?

I know that high beams need to be instant and HIDs have a warm up period. How many of you are running them on both?

RedRider550

Yes. Right side light is low and right is high I believe. I like both sides to match and why not? Thats just what high beam is for, so you can see further/better. Why not make it as bright as possible?

If you get the proper projectors and retrofit them. You can have your low beam plug light both lights and your high beam plug move both shutters in a dual bi-xenon setup. I plan to do that this summer.

Not to thread jack but along the same lines does anyone heve both lights running same brightness at the same time and how do you do that ?

I run dual high beams with 10k hid....I see great and others hate to see me : )

THUG

I was mostly referring to how a lot of people run a halogen on the high beam due to the readiness of a halogen. I use my high beam to signal other drivers at times (such as a 4 way stop) and you can't necessarily flick your high beams when you have HID's.

My Acura has HID's on low beams and halogen on high beams as do many cars.

I thought I had HIDs but I got checked out down at the doctors and the tests came back negative.

I would assume since both lights are H7, you would need to level the high beam to sit the same height as the low beam.

There is also a bulb cover on the inside of the low beam housing that prevents it from shining into peoples faces as opposed to the high beam that doesn't appear to have this bulb cover.

I got my HID's from a public toilet seat.
