If you have the money, go for it. It definitely will be brighter and blinding to oncoming drivers.

IMO, it's a waste of money, but it's your car.

imo, the low beam hid should be plenty bright enough to where you don't need the high beam hid's

if you want the hid in high beams, it has nothing to do with the ballast, it has to do with the bixenon projector to where there is a shield inside it that moves up and down

I wouldn't get HID high beams. Really what seperates the high beam from low is the BEAM PATTERN. Honda's high beams tend to be pretty ****** awesome. I have HIDs as low beam, but my high beams still light up everything around & above really well (I believe they are H4's--JDM housing). I say just upgrade the halogen bulb (silverstars or whatever is white/bright) & stick with low beam HIDs. Just my opinion.

But it would be pretty cool to have High beam HIDs, hence, bi-xenons.

If you put them in your High beams, I think there might be too much power going through to were you will be blowing fuses. I attempted to put HIDs in my JDM fogs, and I kept blowing fuses. I'm guess I'll just have to hook up a better resistor to them or something
