Question about building hi-lo kit.

Ok, so I'm going to be building my own hi-lo kit. I was just wondering, can I use any ballasts to power a hi/lo H4 HID bulb, or does the ballast have to be a higher wattage? I know 5.5 gen stock ballasts are 12V, is that because they power two HID bulbs seperately? Would I need a 24V ballast since I'd be using a bi-xenon bulb? Or can I use a standard 12V?

No you dont need a 24v ballast. One ballast is used to power up one bulb. You can use any ballast as long as its 12v. Get two ballasts and keep us posted. Peace.

No doubt. So all I'll have to do is just buy bi-xenon bulbs, eh? Can't wait until I complete this.
