I rarely use high beam (never I should say) so thought I just go with a good set of low beam projectors

move out of NY

I've been driving for 6 years and used my high beam 3 times...to test if it works, so it's not that important to me.

Congratulations, looks great. I am saving up to do mine, but need to keep low and high beam (bi-xenon), because do lots of highway driving and it is always better to see further down the road for deers, etc.. besides here in NY you won't pass the inspection without high beams.

i think changing out the corners for amber bulbs will make a very nice contrast for your HIDs as well as yellow fogs.

I had to change the clearence lights and buper lights to amber when I got my HID's. I think it looks better with the ambers. And it finally gave me a reason to put back the stock tails instead of leaving on my crappy alteeza tails.. I didnt know how bad those tails were made opposed to the stock because of the way they lined up with the trunk...
