High/Low Beam HID's

I know the problem with the HID conversion kits is you lose the high beam. Not sure if anybody has seen these before but it says it has both high and low beams.

Anybody know anything about these or have any experience with them?

I was thinking it could be an alternative to the 2k2 HID's cause its got me worried that so many are being stolen.

Thanks

I've heard they are prone to fail. The servo that moves the shield for lo/hi breaks pretty often.

If your going to get one, I'd go with:
http://www.hitechimportlighting.com/bellofhid.htm

Otherwise, get a nice $400 H4 Panasonic HID low beam only kit with auxillary high power fog lights that come on for high beams.

That's what I was going to do before I went the 2K2 headlamp route.

Has anyone done his Panasonic recommendation? If so do you have pics and how is the high beam with the fog lights? Also any recommended sites that sell the panasonic kit with the aux fog light part.

His pics don't work anymore, but you might email Adam(2000MaxSE) to see if he still has them on his PC:

With these HIDs, you really don't need brights, but the addition of "driving lamps" aimed properly would provide the distance.
