H.I.D Light Question?

![Question](https://dodgeforum.com/forum/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Ok, so I'm planning on getting Hids - 6000k
What are ya'll guys using Bi-Xenon or Hi/Lo? Which do yall recommend? and have yall had any problems with them?
So is there anything I need to know about installing them? I read some topics saying that I would have to adjust them or something like that.
Also it will be in my stock headlight assembly which is pretty new and clean. Idk if that matters or not because I really dont want to buy new headlights just for Hids.

well to do it right you need HID compatible headlight housings without the frosted glass that deflects the light into other eyes (all oem HID assemblies have clear lenses for this reason) otherwise you will get lots of complaints and likely some tickets...(all aftermarket HID's are technically illegal btw as I recently learned because of politics)
most of the HID headlight kits for our truck use an HID projector for the low beam and regular halogen for the high...thier is a time delay between highs and lows refiring when hot and its actually very hard on the bulbs to go back and forth between beams as it degrades the bulb life every time you refire an already hot bulb...
However you can find the bi hids with single setups.
If you want more info I suggest the search function as this thread will likely get ugly fast with varying opinions that have little to do with the actual facts

Yeah, don't.
You are going to blind everyone else on the road, and unless you plan on doing a full projector conversion (not egay projector headlights) you will be frittering your money away at best. And Auggie, you are partially right about the 9004 kits. For non sports they use a single bulb, in which the capsule is electromagnetically moved back and forward to simulate a low/hi. In reality, it doesn't make a bit of difference.

to answer the original question i am running a high low bulb in 6000k from dmm tuning. i dont know if the high low was worth it because there so bright already it just changes where they point. i just put them in recently and have had no problems. the wiring is easy you just put in the bulbs and the new wiring harness which plugs into one of your light sockets and has a power wire to the battery and two grounds. very simple. and i love them.

I have 5000k headlights and 6000k foglights. I got mine from www.ddmtuning.com. I just have single element for my head lights. I'm going to switch it over to dual soon.
