Toxic Beast Member 514 Member For: 18y 5m 3d Gender: Male Posted 18/08/08 05:59 PM Share Posted 18/08/08 05:59 PM Hey Guys.I'm looking at getting 6000 k HID's for my bf xr to use for my driving lights.I've read a lot of threads on this forum and another and everyone seems to be gettin H4 hi/lo's.1) h4 hi/lo's.. does that mean my normal driving lights will be brighter, but when I use my hi-beam's.. I'll have a brighter light in my normal driving light compartment and my standard hi-beams will function as well? or does it just use the driving light compartment for both my lo beams and hi beams and disconnects my inner lights which are used for hi-beams?I'm just confused as I was about to purchase some off ebay (h4 hi/lo's )and asked the seller if I'm getting the right ones and he said that h4 lo's are only suited for my car..hi/lo's are only suited for cars which use the same light for normal driving lights and hibeams..and since my car uses a seperate globe for drivng lights and hi-beams..h4 hi /lo's would be a waste of money as the hi beams wont work..hope some1 can help clear this up for me as I want to get some HIDs soon.THANKS!

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

Highbeams are H3 and driving lights are H7. A H4 globe will not work in the driving lights.You will also need to aim them much lower as they glair like a bastard.I have BiXeon in my main headlights.

People flash there lights to tell me to turn mine off from about 5kms away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
