Default Headlights

So I am ready to settle on some headlights and HID's. Need so advice though. I'd like opinions on which headlight setup to get(below). next I am either going with 5k or 6K HID's from HIDextra. Now I want to have HID's for both high and low(i know it just moves the bulb up? right?) I cannot find that on hidextra anymore. Anyone know where it went? I rather not have have to deal with having two different types of lights and have to deal with not having flash to pass. Anyone have problems with HID's at -30*F and colder? What about HID's and rough gravel roads? Having them on constantly(every time i drive, i kick my headlights on). I tried searching but a lot of what i found is for 3rd gen not 2nd gen. Im pretty sure the light assemblys below use 9004 bulb? Also thinking of tossing in LED turn signals.. I have about 300 bucks to spend for headlights(plus the HID). Is it worth me spending the 300 bucks? or would it be better to get the bright box from geno's(turns highs and lows on at same time for around 100 bucks). Thanks for any help!!

Well the projectors run a different bulb for low and high so if you want hid's for your highs and lows you will need to get 2 kits, I love my projectors so far, get alot of compliments on the halo's too.

I would reccomend DDMtuning for the hid's I got some not too long ago and Im very happy with the quality, I have had my truck offroad a minimal of 10 times since installing and no problems with them, one set of ballasts are just taped on using the tape they give you and they havent fell yet and thats doing 30+ down dirt roads

Either way and upgrade for our stock headlights will be worth it

I have done a ton of work with they guys at Hidextra through the Scion scene.

They are having some problems with their website right now, the direct link to their Bi-Xenon lights is:

They have awesome products and would highly recommend them to anyone. Your bulb should be a 9004.
