I give up.....you can see more with kc daylighter on too why dont you just use them?.....they are illegal to use on the streets for the same reason hids in the wrong housings are a danger.
some of the aftermarket replacement housings I've seen have a sticker on them that say HID's not allowed because of the fact that they can melt certian housings as well as the fact that they will blind other like highbeams even when on lowbeam.

I'm not old chief....and when someone is behind tyou with these lights they shine directly into your mirror reflecting into your face....you should be intelligent enough to understand when someone points a spotlight into your face to dont have to be staring at it to be blinded......I guess I expect too much.
with every post you are digging yourself deeper in bs here...

When the HID are switched to high beam it takes a few second to warm up the lights.

At that moment you can barly see nothing.

That is the reason that the low light should stay on.

Thanks and greetings,


Erik

yes they do need time to warm up but there is a plug for it, its an eliminator one it should do the job, but it takes time to warm up because its such a high voltage and the ballast needs to warm up
