Default HID help

sorry to make a new thread about this but i couldnt find my old one. i know you guys have to get tired of seein HID questions so im sorry .

anyways i bought an hid kit a while back and its not bi-xenon so i dont have a low beam, just high. i live in va and there strict about there inspection so i have to have a high and low beam.

could i buy a bi-xenon kit from ebay and use just the bulbs with my original ballasts?

lookin at this
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HID-B...1%7C240%3A1318

would that work? if so im thinkin about taken the ebay kit and old bulbs and tryin to sell

I used those same bulbs you linked to, I'm assuming you're talking about the H4's? They'll fit and hook up to your ballasts; all you'll need to get the bi-xenon function is an HID harness for the H4 bi-xenon bulbs like such: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/H4-Hi...ayphotohosting

I believe if you search "H4 HID harness" you'll find some items that have all kind of bulb sizes...you can get the same harness I linked to as you'll specify that you want H4, could be cheaper than my link.

I'm pretty sure they have the same wiring harnesses. You should be able to use the bulbs and ballasts for your low beams.

this is the kit i bought. paid 100 for it tho from a guy on another forum and he says he gets 2 year warrantys.

http://www.xtremehids.com/product_in...bf588890effec3

that site dosent have dual filament bulbs or whatever that i could find.

i also orderd a relay harness from them to hook the ballast up to the battery so it wouldent eff up my headlight harness and i got a harness that didnt hook up right. it would hook from the battery basiclly to nothing that i could find


djslim23-the ebay link i posted says it has the bi-xenon harness. would that be the same as your link?

Yeah your ballasts will be able to hook up to the bulb. What I was talking about with the H4 harness, aside from the wire that hooks up to your ballast and the ground, there is another wire that connects to the bi-xenon bulb. That wire triggers the shield on the bulb to give you your HI's or your LO's. It's in the shape of a rectangle with one end rounded off. If you need pics I can get them to you.
