question about h.i.ds
 
I ordered a kit for my low beams and i got to thinking maybe i should get high beams too. I dont want them all on at the same time i just want my highs and my lows. so heres the question do i have to get a kit specially made for high beams or can i use the same one that i ordered for my low beams?

the diff will be in the bulb....one uses 9005 and one uses 9006
i dont think you can just swap them with the hid kit...i think the two bulbs set in the headlight differently.
i did highs then lows later on.
just remember if you do highs there is a short warmup time with these bulbs.

just leave the highs stock, no need for them imo

ddmtuning.com is great for cheap reliable HIDs, you could get hi/lo bulbs for your highs (if that's how your daytime running lights work), that's how mine work but i don't use high beams very often because my HID headlights are bright enough

Yeah I agree. No need for HID high beams for driving. By the time they warm up and get bright you get an on coming car then ya gotta go back to low beams. Plus I dont think short cycling HIDs is a good thing to do. Anyone know about that for sure?

Yea it didnt even cross my mind about the bulb size thing till u said somthing. I got my hids with a 3yr warranty for 60 bucks

ddmtuning.com offers lifetime warranties on HIDs, with shipping the basic kits are around $45. And TMM217, by short cycling do you mean repeatedly turning them on and off in a short amount of time? If so, that is bad for HIDs, it could blow the bulbs way short of their expected lifetime.

Yea i know about ddmtuning.com it took me about an hour to choose which kit I wanted bc I know nothing about hids yet except the color charts. and I went with one off of sonicelectronix. I got 30days to try them and if I dont like them ill most likely get some from ddmtuning.

i've gotten 2 sets from ddmtuning, i know tons of people who bought from there, most people are skeptical because its so cheap, and it takes a while to get them because they come from china

I got mine from DDM, I like them very much. I had one bulb go bad and they were very easy to work with.
