i thought it wasnt a good idea to have HID’s for hi beams since they are only on for a little bit and that causes the ballasts to burn up?

I’m not quite sure how the high/low kits work, but I think it’s just like a regular bulb. Meaning another filament gets power.

Should be okay. Many people HAVE to use high-low bulbs, and I haven’t heard many issues.

The only way high beams are bad for HID’s is the the ballast is OFF and then has to turn on for 2 seconds when you flash the highs. Such as my car. I have a completely separate high-beam so I had a whole different set of ballasts. I didn’t keep those HID’s because by the time they warm up, it was too late or took forever. So put the halogens back in. Since in high-low kits the ballast is already ON, I don’t think it effects the ballast. Just the bulb.

Yeah, this is why I’m buying them this kit. Both of them are slowly starting to complain that they can’t see anything. Mom is 54 and dad just turned 60.

the kit he got if from DDM tuning (which he probably did) you need to order the high/low kit cuz if you dont…the bulb you get is only a low beam…no highbeam at all…kinda stupid…but if you want the high beam at all…you have to order the high/low kit idk if its a high halogen or a high HID though…
