HID Upgrade Question
Hey i want to install HID in my Fit 09, but i came up with this two:
HIDExtra.com - The Best Source for HID Xenon Light Conversion Kits H4 Hi/Lo-10000K Automobile Xenon HID Conversion Kit
HIDExtra.com - The Best Source for HID Xenon Light Conversion Kits H4 Bi-Xenon-10000K Automobile Xenon HID Conversion Kit
I got the site from this post:
https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/fit-...sion-pics.html
But I want to know what's the difference between Hi/Low and BiXenon? :S
Im thinking that in the post, chrisng was using the Hi/Low HID kit, cause he stated that it was only $60 (although the site now has them for $75...)

Is there a difference in the installation of these two? is there a guide some where?
Im planning of getting the Bi-Xenon... Are there any suggestion of why I should get the hi/low instead of the Bi-Xenon?

I believe, but i could be wrong, with the hi/lows youre able to retain your daytime running lights as they are. However, with the bi-xenons the HIDs would be on all the time and you'll likely get a DRL circuit problem light on your dash.

That was another question that I had.. what will happened to the DRL if I change to Bi-Xenon. Can anyone else confirm this?

It comes on because of the way these Bi xenon PnP HID kits are designed. You are only drawing power from one of factory headlight connectors. The other one's not in use and isnt plugged into anything so the car thinks there's a circuit problem.

thanks for this!! really useful in considering HID

LED as DRL

Bi-Xenon HID

I am thinking about installing HID in my 09, what do you mean you plugged LED as DRL and it went off?

In Bi-Xenon HID configuration (what I have). The HID ballasts get power directly from the battery. However, the Bi-Xenon controller connects only to one side of headlight harness. When you turn on the ignition switch, it triggers the controller to engage the relay. So HID will complete it circuit. However, since HID harness connects to only side of the headlight harness, DRL on the dash will turn on. If you turn on the headlight switch, you won’t see the DRL on the dash.
To complete the DRL circuit while headlight switch is off but ignition switch is on, is to install LED as DRL to both side of the headlight harness. DRL on the dash will be off as normal.
I hope I answer your question.

In stock DRL/headlight configuration, when you turn on the ignition switch, DRL is always on. If one of high beam bulbs burn out, DRL on the dash will turn on.
