HID Headlights; what to do for the high beam?

[mikeykey]

I just got my HID headlights from TYC off eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...0047090990&sspagename=STRK:MEWNX:IT&viewitem=)

I looked around a bunch and that was the place that kept coming up as a good place to go. I just installed them tonight and am happy with the lights, but the high beams (that come with the lights) look like shit. I have the 4-way light thing installed and when you put it on high, the highs are all yellow and the lows are nice and white.

Can I solve this with some Silver Star high beams or do I have to go buy an additional HID kit for my highs to achieve the "white" look I was going for?

I was just under the impression when I order HID headlights, I was getting all the way HID headlights.

high beams are always non-hid. even when you hit the high beams on units using the same bulb, the HID kit has an incandescent built in. you'd need a separate kit to do what you want. the silverstars arent that white.

there are lights, i cant think of the name, but RT has em in his high beams.. theyre non HID, but they may give you what you want.

[Rollin Thunder]

Am I getting jerked around?

you don't have a pic by any chance do you. I just want to see how "white" they are before buying. Thanks

No hids in this pics. Low beams are standard 9005 (just 5 dollar bulbs) and High is the HIR.

Also dont think the light on the sky is sun. It was about 11:30 at night. Thats just some wierd setting on my camara.

That looks good...I was thinking more of a pic of the actual light inside the housings. I went to the website and couldn't find any pictures of the actual light in the housings either.

I did stuble upon something quite nice though: http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProducts/AutomotiveLighting/LampReplacementGuide/AutoLRG-Results.htm

I've got the same thing with the HID/incandescent. so far, i dont mind it. i'll prolly end up gettin another hid kit tho.
RT, are the 22 each, or for the pair.. cuz HIDs are 65 bucks... lol

 

[Rollin Thunder]

Their 22 each. But They work just as well as HIDs, and are perfect for the highbeams since there is no warm up period.

i have the exact same problem. was still debating another HID kit or better bulbs.
