Is there anyway to keep your high beams if you get your headlights converted to HID?

Or is my only choice getting the eBay projectors and fitting them with a HID kit?

Your other choice is doing a bi-xenon projector conversion.

*ack* What would that cost? And is it as easy to do as a standard HID conversion?

wouldn't getting a 2k2 or 2k3 hid assembly satisfy what you're looking to do? or is the price of the assemblies higher than the conversion kit you're looking at?

If I get this, I can convert and keep my high-beam without a problem right? Or is there anything else I have to buy?

nope, that's all you need. That seller is a personal friend of mine. He's a good guy to go with. tell him Bryan from Irvine sent you maybe he'll hook you up with a discount.

Yeah that would work. But your stuck with that color. If you got the bi-xenon projector and retro fit them you can change bulbs colors.

Awesome. I like the crystal white color anyways. 6000k is about as high as I want to go because my brother's SC430 outputs 6k (I think) and that lighting makes me hard every time I see it.
