highbeam HIDs?
i ordered and decided to install lowbeam retrofit HID lights. but i also want highbeam HID lights. is it exactly the same to install highbeam HID lights as lowbeam ones? like, buying the same parts and installing it the same way?
i have a 2003 honda accord EX V6. i already bought the parts for the low beam (tsx hid projector, ballasts, etc.) but iono what to buy if i want a pair for the high beam. do u think i can just buy the same tsx projector for highbeam or do i need specific highbeam projectors?
and for the low beam tsx projectors, im going to get BMW shrouds for it, do u think its small enough for the 2003 accord headlights?
these are the shrouds

You could retrofit another pair of projectors for the high beams, but instead of going through all that trouble, why not just purchase a pair of Bi-xenon projectors since those would be used for both high and low beam lighting using a single HID system. The E46 shrouds are the ones I always use for all the retrofits I do

Not exactly. The shield would keep it from illuminating the areas you want. If you can, it would be best to retrofit a bixenon projector in place of the TSX.
Bixenon means it has a movable shield that flips from low beams to high beams. You'd best find someone that knows how to wire a car equipped with separate low and high beams into a bixenon projector because it's not just a direct plug in.
