I've heard plenty of ppl say that w/ HIDs you dont need high beams, so im assuming most people dont miss their highbeams

I got an H4 kit off impulse and its a low only kit. The hi/low kits I hear are more likly to have the servo break so I wouldnt recommned them. Also the highbeam will do little or nothing for you. HID's are so bright and beautiful its tough for them to be any brighter. The only thing I regret is losing my ability to flash the highbeams to let people in and to inform others of cops and speed traps. OTher then HID's do the trick, save your money and dont bother with the high and low

BUT

becareful when your driving because if you hit the highbeam the HID's turn off, and flashing hids is not good

I actually picked up those polarg visual amber bulbs. We'll see if they look as good as the regular ones. Really expensive for bulbs tho.
