I got myself a hid kit for my fd, but the thing is thay only work on high beam :2Mad Does this mean i cant use them or will the high beam on the hid"s be the same as the low beam on the old bulbs.

Thanks

you need the h4 bulbs that do hi and low, some companies call them h4-4 or h4 bi xennon

be careful when you buy as some H4 have 1 bulb (does hi and low beam) and others have 2 bulbs (xenon for low beam and non-xenon bulb for high beam). the latter one is not as good.

You may have them wired in wrong. Normally the HID part would work on dipped even for single beam lights as far as I know.

FD standard light set up is to use dipped only, when you go to full beam the dipped get cut off.

I\'ve had to modify my HIDs so that all four (didnt want the hi/low beam ones) lights come on at once - looks tres cool!!
