Two bulb HID Kit? You mean Bi-Xenon? I know you don't have the same headlight, but the steps are the same regardless. Its kind of a PITA to do that retrofit unless you're really experienced with stuff like that.

You're going to need new bulbs with any projector that you decide to go with.

You've never seen those before? I'm surprised.

When you hit the highs, it shuts off the HID and turns on that halogen H1. Pretty pointless actually, seeing as the halogen is no where near as bright as HID.

I agree. Bi Xenon are way better than that double bulb one

You can reuse your ballasts.
