Default High tech HID?

Well not that I've had my hands on an HID kit or anything *yet*...


Now because I didn't do too much research and wanted to upgrade my lights to HID; I found myself to have ordered some xenon HID lights, instead of bi-xenon lights. So i guess I'll be losing my high-beams? or is there a way around this?

Still waiting for it to come via ups...

Going to be plugging them into aftermarket projectors ( cross my fingers and hope its not to hard or too many mods)

Is there anyway possible that a "xenon" kit can be converted to a "bi xenon" kit, wish I had some ballasts to play around with but I don't have any. just yet...

Is it possible to have the daytime running lights as our "low beams"? Would that get to hot for the housing? Would wiring be able to handle this?

or should I make due for now and wait for ballasts to burn out (since they are e-bay) and spend more money to get bi xenon

What HID kit did you buy?

If its not a retrofit, then I would say, no....no way to get bi-xenon.
I'd just return it and buy the correct one.

ebay - XENON HID CONVERSION KIT HONDA CIVIC 2004 2003 2002 (the one with the purple logo "german technology" lol. )

Buy after doing a little bit of research you can buy ballasts that are meant for both xenon - or bixenon lights. so from what I can gather its just wiring up that extra wire to the ballast that is already wired for it. And getting the right bulb of course.

specs of the ballast,
Model No. : LBHIDBLT
HID System ES-8000
price: 13.50 US
shipping: 10.00 US

So that's the easy way to convert xenon to a bi xenon system. Fairly cheap too...
