strmdrgn Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I am thinking about putting HIDs for my high beams and I already have HIDs for low beams, has anyone done this and will it cause problems with the electrical on the vehicle? The low beams are 8000K 35W kit and the high beams would be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilbrudder Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Some people will say don't do it, but I have and like it. If you live in the city it prob won't be helpful but if you live more rural like me and drive for 30 minutes to and hour straight with the highs on then the difference is night and day. These have saved me from the deer hood orniment several times. As far as the electrical probs, not really a prob but the fog light indicator in the gauges comes on when my highs are on even know the fogs are not truly on... that's the only difference for me. I have 55w raptor v2 for Hi(4300K)and lows(8000K), and 35w raptor v2 fogs(2300K) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNVAR Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I think the reason people don't suggest high beams is because high beams can and often are used to flash quickly. If you replace it with HIDs, you lose that ability. HIDs are not designed for instant on/off usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaru1657615622 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 are you going to switch on the high beam all the time? if not, why do you install HID for high beam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
