I currently have H4 HID in my OEM headlamps. Though while doing some canyon driving in pitch black conditions, I really noticed the need for high beams. So now I am sure I need some TYC projectors so I can have high beams.

now my question is this...

What parts will I need to use my HID in the new TYCs? I know I'd need some H1 HID bulbs... but i am ASSUMING that is it.

Also if someone can post a pic of the back of a TYC unit, I'd appreciate it. (wondering where the highbeam bulb would get its power from cause our cars have H4 (1 wire) setups. ) I'm assuming that the OEM socket plugs into the TYC, which another H4 socket comes out and plugs into the highbeam.

are you talking about real HID (as in the kit) or just the bulbs like PIAA?

the high beam wires cross with the low beam, so they only have one connector.

Yes I'm talking the real High Intensity Discharge system where the bulbs use a special mixture of halide salts and xenon gas that create an electrical arc of intense light

If you have D2S or D2R bulbs then you will have to get the projectors (i.e. Lexus, Audi, BMW) that were made for HID that fits those bulbs in place.. And you will have to do a conversion.. take out the TYC stock projector, then (somehow) mount the other in there..

Try the catz H4 high/low. I have them and they came out great.The high beam is very useful and well focused unlike the philips based kits which just removes the shield. The catz kit moves the bulb into the high beam position where the high beam filament usually is and makes a VERY powerful high beam.

When you high beam can you hear motor moving the bulb back?

I bought Bellof's HID kit (6000k) and when you high beam, you can hear it click pretty good.
I thought it was just mine, but I guess other kits do that too.

I just hear a slight click, with the engine on you can't even hear it.

Same here, a slight click. Nothing major. Bellof's high/low kit is the best one out there. Catz is a re-branded Bellof from what I hear.

You have until Friday, 8-15-2003 to purchase them cause the DOT has banned the sale of aftermarket HID kits. Buy em now before the prices skyrocket.

Does that include hid retrofits? Id imagine not cause projectors break and ballasts/bulbs blow.

I have the Catz hi/lo kit and I love them. U can really tell the difference between hi and lo. Other kits u cant even tell if u have the high beam on or not.
