That bulb looks like a Peni$. Keeps moving up and down. I don't think that helps with high beams. I've seen a hid kit where it was both, real hid kit and a high beam it was like $700 though.

Ah...finally....

This is what I will have in my car once the price drops down. Hopefully other manufacturers are starting to make these kits so the price will go down fast.....

the bulb moves to change the position of the light source in order to give you low and high beams.

i'd be interested to see how well this works, but i dont have $700 to spend right now.

I saw it on E-bay once. I know it wasn't for the 9004 though. It was some other bulb. But hopefully they come out with ours.

looks very cheap... I would not buy any HID kit unless it is a german ballast and german bulb. I saw some ultinon kits on ebay for like 400 or so, which, IMO, is probably the only HID kit you should buy. Look for a phillips ballast, a bulb that has a blue anode cover and the words "cool power xenon." Remember that separate igniters means non-german engineering.

he's be sarcastic and not funny.

what i did was mount a pair of fog lights wired as high beams behind my stock grill. With the only one purpose, to flash at other cars rather than turn my HID system on and off. I think they look ok considering they have to project through my stock grill!

I got Osram HID's, how harmful is it to flip the lights on and off with the high beem switch?

That messes up the starter and bulbs because aftermarket bulbs were not made to be turned off and on continuously, because the bulb might blow out.
