Kills the option for 4+hi no?

If I understand you right, no

What I mean is this, the stock headlight setup: (all single)

(Lo) (hi) ==============(hi) (Lo)


My new set up:
Bi.
(Lo/Hi) (hi) =========== (hi) (Lo/hi)

This way we can get from the front 4 Hi head lights! Using the same power as the stock! (The Bi xenon uses only one ballast for each side)

The single hi beam well be controlled by a switch from the inside to act like an off road light!

My only problem is how to switch to hi beam without turning off the low beam!

I just put some 6k HID's in my Denali low beam, very...very white light with the tiniest hint of blue. I would have to say 96% white and 4% blue. I like them and I hate the bright *** blue lights when people don't know how to aim them properly. these hit in the same place and have a crisp cutoff.
I know your talking about the OBS, but it just threw it out there.

Nice, personally I would never chose above 4500K as you said it is matter of taste so great :)

Ok that would work. As far as triggering the separate inners while keeping the outers you can use this simple kit. I have one but have not installed it because I have not settled on materials choice for an auxiliary power distribution system yet. http://www.painlessperformance.com/webcatalog/lv.php?sl=30802
