Default HID Upgrade question

Hi guys, I am going to do the HID upgrade and so far I have been recommended the kit from visionbulbs.com I am going to get the 6000k i think.

My question is do most of you just do the low beam conversion and just leave the high beam or do you do both?

Thanks!

if you have extra cash, you can do the high beam one. But imo it's a waste of money since you don't use your high very often anyway. Plus, high beam is for turning on and off in a short period of time at darkest areas and it is not good to turning on and off HID system repeatly.

Thanks, makes sense but a lot of cars have Bi Xenons right?

Anyone else?

Tav,

Our headlights for 03-05 are not bixexon compatiable. this means to do low and hi-beam you will need to purchase 2 separate kits.

Wow, $200 for a conversion kit? I bought a $70 ebay one and it looks just fine... it's lasted for a couple of years so far... Are the more expensive ones really that much better?

Dont get it from them they have the worst service. THey ship their products from china, their customer service is non existent and so is their warranty. Please go with another company since i already got burned by them.

I actually have an extra ebay kit I'll sell to you if you're interested. As I mentioned above... the one I already have on my car (an ebay kit as well) has lasted a couple of years so far.
