I just installed my grand am HID conversion kit but only the low beams look lie HID. WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!!!!???? I wanted HID high and HID low, but i got HID low and Halogen High.

I haven't driven at night yet to compare but is it beneficial to have HID high beams or will i just blind everyone?

it's best to have oem hids, idk anything about grand-am's.

just make sure the connections are tight. and it's fine to have either.

[supergoji]

okay people, it's not too much glare. the camera sux lol. it's very nice, no glare at all, very bright!

[dirtbikernick]

[supergoji]

mmmhh..why are the low beams kinda like blue? sir?

[supergoji]

i'm guessing it has to do with the temperature that they are at. they have a nice blue tinge but they are mostly white.

[GTFORDMAN]

you really need to aim your low beams.

[autocrossaholic]

they have penetration and even lighting so that you can see down the road without being blinded by the foreground.

HID bulbs need HID optics, kits are junk and should die in a fire.

[anonymousabl]

its because if you look at the bulbs, what it is essentially when the highbeams are in the same bulb, its two bulbs put together. What it does is point it upwards on the highbeams and downwards on the lowbeams. You can tell its still HID cause it does the warm up cycle, no halogen does that. If your dissapointed in the color, consider getting more expensive bulbs, possible a higher color because the ballasts themselves are working just fine.

@kjun13

OK, quick filler for you.

HID for high beams is bad, halogen highs are bright enough with lows combined. seconed you will allready be blinding people with yout HID lows, as you did not retrofit your light housings with projectors, thridly HID lights need to warm up, you will shorten their life by a great deal if you flash your high beams or turn off for a passing car than back on agian, you will fry the ballest, or kill the light.

You should have had "Blinded by the light" playing on the stereo for background tunes. LoL

@kjun13 You probably bought a HI/LOW kit hid... not Bi-xenon... Hi/low has a xenon bulb with a halogen bulb attached to it for high beam, bi-xenon actually moves and tilts the bulb for high beam.
