Default HID kit, what should i do?

hello. i wanan get a kit from misterjung hids. but would like to know people who have tried putting in a H4 kit. i dont want to lose my highbeam, but do you guys use ur highbeams? should i change to a different projector housing headlamps that use a H3 bulb for the low beam and H1 for the highbeam? or just get the high/low kit? would i have to use a separate switch to put on the highbeams with the high/low kit? thanks

With hids you really wouldn't even need your high beams. The beams themselves light up everything really well by themselves.

I bought the hy low kit and it think tis worth it but the regular kit with out high beams.

Please stay away from after market projectors and H3 bulbs....they will look nice but they will suck ***.

you dont want to use an aftermarket projector kit and add hids to them unless they are meant for hids. the projectors not meant for hids are usually made low quality. the light pattern isnt concentrated as well as it should be and most of the time they have plastic ellipsoids instead of glass. there is a very good chance that either the plastic will melt, or that you light pattern will be so scattered that it will cause harm to other drivers.

is there a separate switch to turn on the highbeam HIDS? with HIDs would i have trouble seeing steet signs, etc, also how can i flash the red light to turn green faster without highbeams?

Honestly, the low beams on HIDs are awesome, you dont really need high beam. You can't wait for the lights to change themselves? Its not that long of a wait.
