if you do bi xenons hid or anything for the highs, DRL will only use a small percentage of the high beams powers but I suggest you jus buy a better bulbs for your highs b/c having HID for highbeams does not sound like a good idea

why all caps?

anyways, i dont think HID high beams are good unless they are in projectors. the high beams i have seen in bi-xenons do not help at all. but if you want only HID highs i dont see any problems with it.

Customlightz does a duel HID retro for our cars. I would drop them an email and ask them the question. I am sure they know the answer.

Personally, I have a HID retro on my Civic and find the HID's with the factory highbeams are more than enough light, and I am half blind 50 year old man.

I am not real informed regarding HID's but I believe they are a major power (electrical) hog. I wonder if you would need a different alternator to run two sets of HID's? Granted, you are not running the highbeams all the time, but it would suck to blow up your alternator when your driving out in the sticks.

I thought HIDs draw less power than stock bulbs?
