Getting HID - but Bi-Xenon or No Bi-Xenon

I think the Bi is a waste really, how often do you use your brights.

anyone thoughts on this.

and I think 6000k is cool

i use them to flash aholes as well, but very good to have in the mountains at night, i was tennessee for a week and i used them alot. when the road goes up and down so much its good to be able to kick on the high beams when going down hill to light up further down the road. and only a 35 dollar difference is not bad at all.

If you live in a locale that requires yearly vehicle inspections in order to renew your registration, you will need to have brights to pass.

Something to consider.

get the bi-xenon.
reason being, when you put a HID bulb in a non-HID housing, you will get glare and people will think you have your high beams on. they will flash you and you cant do anything about it. you cant flash them back. i have just lows right now and i just bought a set of bi's.

Like everyone saying just go bi-xenon....also like what I alway say, if you are going to get HID then, go all the way and get bi-xenon. Also don't get the HID low and halogen high.....when you do get them use my DIY on installing them...

yeah i have lows. and when people flash me, i get super mad!

all i can do is strobe my light since i dont have highs. it just shuts off.

so itll look like a trance hall on the road when i get super pissed.


like when i get my bi-xenons they will know that im not brighting them at first.

HAHAHA this got me rolling! im happy this doesnt happen to me, when i flick to highs, my lows still remain on.

Though u already ordered ur Bi-xenons, I'd like to add that im for it too. I mean if ur gonna buy it, mind as well. Like everyone has said, when u wanna use, you'd be pissed.
I have just lows in mine but thats cuz i just took it out of my old car. Plus its OEM components, 4300k, nice and stock
