Get the new "bixenon" H4 HID bulbs. They use the same lit bulb for both highs and lows, merely moving back and fourth by an electromagnet. You get bright highs and lows, long bulb life (switching hids on and off shortens life) and everything is properly focused.
@den2003 This car looks like it uses that type of bulb thats true. The way you put it you make it sound like anyone can go out and fit these "new" bixenons and thats just not true.
@xex2kok Why not? Legality issues aside and assuming these are H4s, nice "bixenon" hid H4s (the ones with the moving bulb) are just as easy as installing any other kit.
@den2003 If the car did not come with bi-xenon's then you will have to rewire it somehow so that when you hit your brights it uses the bi-xenon light instead of your normal brights. That is all I meant. As stock when you hit the brights it will light the one next to the regular light.
@xex2kok These bulbs are to be used with a special harness (sold separately) that connects to your battery directly, (thereby protecting your car's original wiring from surges, etc.) and to the ballasts for each light and also have a control lead that connects to it's correspondent on each bulb, controlling high/low. Of course the harness also connects to one of the lights' original power plug to signal when they're on or high/low.
Are these H4 bulbs? If so, there are a few types sold that are HID, but with a crappy halogen bulb piggybacked onto the HID bulb (for the highbeams) that are totally useless as you can see, because they're not only halogen but also out of the focus point within the reflector.
the reality is ... the brightness of the hids are so bright that your eyes will not dilate correctly causing you to not see as far up the highway as you normally would because of the brightness.... hids need to be projected as to spread the light evenly... and this is a fact...
ive had this problem with a chinese made halogen bulbs............the low beams would work fine ,but when clicked to high beams ,one blulb would die,and the other would shoot striat up in the air!!
You have them hooked up reverse, or your using a regular halogen reflector with an hid kit....which as you can see the light is everywhere but the road, retrofit your headlights with projectors
I have a badass HID kit on my truck and it does the same thing. Low beams are bright enough but I do have fog light kit as well. Guy that said you bought cheap kit is full of crap and obviously don't know what the hell he's talking about. Bi xenon are high and low beam bulbs
hmm, i dunno why people make hids with a halogen high beam, makes it worthless imo, i like ddm tunings hid kits, has a hid bulb with a selinoid that moves the bulb in and out from high to low beam, works alot better than this, and in some cases the hids are susposto stay on when u hit high beam, dunno what is wrong with the ones u had
The bulbs are made like that on purpose so it can pass inspection and you dont have to pay the extra money for the bi-xenon bulbs. You are required by DOT to have a low and high beam and if you just have the money and only want the low beam these are called Fake out lights the high beam has no purpose but to fool the inspector. Also like you said to fool a cop that you are not using the illegal off road lights on the road but you get it trouble for a miss aimed high beam so their pointless.
Those Xenon's are going to burn themselves out shortly.. it's bad for them to turn on/off all the time. Since you drive an American car (where this sort of setup is most common) the low-beams for whatever reason don't stay on.
forget the high beams. hid lows take on any high beam anyway. i dont even have highs. just 50 watt 6000k hid lows. and have never felt a need for highs.
Usually the kits witht eh xenon bulb ont eh side of the hid bulb are totaly worthless due to not beign able to aim them correctly. Like Mr Zombie says a Bixenon kit from philips may ahve solved the problem. Most vehicles that use a single bulb for both High and Low beams cannot properl aim any Hid bulb for either. An expensive solution is to replace your headlight housing with a set of aftermarket projectors which will work with the HID kit (most use 2 bulbs in seperate spots for High and Low).
same kind I used to have. The halogen high-beam bulb was there solely to pass inspection. It wasn't meant to be brighter. Bi-Xenon's are the way to get the brighter HID high beam
@justjoe7000 i dont live in the stix and barely use my brights dont know why people would really need them unless the weather conditions are bad or its foggy
The problem with this particular setup is that each side had twin bulbs ... a xenon for low beam, and a halogen (the yellowish one) for high beam ... problem is, they appeared to be manufactured upside down. Also, I think the Dodge Nitro only works when both bulbs are in a single location (like n a single element).
I've since changed out to simpler SilverStar bulbs ... not as good as xenon, but they do the trick.
@justjoe7000 YOU should have went with the hid HI/low beam kit you wouldnt have that problem and as for the aiming, you could take it so that some one professionally aligns them for you to get the max use from them
i have the same problem dude like what is the problem i just installed mine and its doing the same thing

why not just buy another kit for your highs?

Did your kit come with the high beam HID's. Alot of kits just come with the low beam lights. Such as the cheaper ebay kits.

do a retro with two fx-r bi-xenon projectors, and put d2s hids in them. They you'll have 4 lows and four highs... Will be amazingly bright.

I have no clue what temp the HIDs were, ended up removing them, as the "high beam" was totally worthless. (Just halogen, and improperly aimed.)
Ended up getting Silverstar bulbs, and am really liking them, except for the rather short lifespan.
