Default question about headlights

whats up guys, well for starters I'm nere here
just bought my 08 black fit 2 days ago, I'm also a n00b to honda, and so far I love it! my gf is trading her 07 civic in for a red 08 fit also lol.

the question I had concerns HID's. I have them in my 07 yamaha R6, and I love them. but in that application its a little bit more simple.
I thought about posting in the lighting section, but since this is a general fit question, I figure I would get more responses here. I want to do a 6000K HID kit for the headlights and the foglights, but my question lies in the high beam.
I believe th fit uses H4 bulbs in the headlight, and I'm not sure about the fog light. how will HID's affect the high beam?

You can get bi-xenon kits that allow you to keep the high beam, which in some states is a requirement for inspection.


Do yourself a favor, as well as for all the other motorists, do a retrofit so you a.) don't blind other traffic and b.) waste the true potential of HID lighting.

IMO, HID in the fog lights is overkill; especially if you are going to do them in the headlamps.

fog lights are h11
i agree with people saying to retrofit projectors. it will look clean as u can go with an all black headlight (no need for lenses with projector shrouds), and it is safer since there is no glare, dont want to blind other motorists and potentially have someone get hurt. also, the cutoff will look sick

it's your choice. If you get a bi-xenon kit then you will have a high beam.
