you would need to buy the bi kit to have low and hi beams. i got a 98 civic and i got just low beams. it doesnt matter. i got used to it. you never really hi beam any one.

If he bought an "HID kit" he's already high-beaming everyone.
Another kid running around putting glare in everyone's mirrors...

when you install the HID kit the globes sit at a different angle and generally do cause kak with on coming drivers...
Unfortunately the Dual Beam HID is a little more pricey but well worth it..
the Dual beam has a solenoid in it that when given enough current, pops the globe about 1cm forward changing the Angles of reflection...

ahah i just adjusted my lights and now i can see clearer with the HID's installed,
at first when i went into a pitch black backroad, i couldnt see a thing more than 20 feet ahead, and now that i steadied the lights horizontally, and moved the beams up, i can see farther down the road
now i just need to adjust the way they are spread out, they are to wide, and i need them more narrow (:

Some people may need their high beams to pass inspection. For example, my father failed inspection because he had HID's without the High Beams (not saying this is your situation). Your solution is to purchase an HID kit with the H4 Bulb which is Hi/Low beam.

High beams are also useful for driving on dark country roads at high speeds.
Although HIDs provide much better lighting than halogen, the cut-off distance is not all that much further. With high beams you can see forever into the distance. If you drive on deserted country roads you might want to consider a driving light kit like this http://www.tirerack.com/lighting/detail.jsp?ID=1031.

If you are willing to spend the bucks, Hella has an HID driving light kit. However it costs almost $700 dollars. http://www.tirerack.com/lighting/detail.jsp?ID=1003
