i did get a set of the Bi-xenons but high beam is regular filament I guess thats what you would call it like a regular bulb its just dim as H#ll.... but i rarely use HI-beams anyways the Hids are bright enough.... and I need clears just have to finish paying for new toys and then sell my old stuff and then get more new stuff...lol

Those aren't bi-xenons. Those are "normal" HID bulbs with a little halogen that is intended just as a signal (flash to pass). They aren't really meant to be used as high beams as the filament is nowhere near the focal point.

With bi-xenons, the HID bulb moves up and down. You could just get the bi-xenon bulbs since you already have the ballasts.

You should get some LED tail lights and 3rd brake light to match your head lights and corner lights. That would be cool. I've seen them on ebay.

That looks awesome. Couple of questions about it if you dont mind. Are they legal? They look sick and I would be very interested in getting those, but I would rather not get pulled over every time I drive at night. How long did it take to put them in? Once again, they look terrific!

well the lights are DOT approved but the only problem with mine for NY state regulations is there is no amber marker lights on the front and blue HIDs are also illegal.... but ***knock on wood*** haven't been bothered so far... I don't know the laws down were you are at... but I highly doubt you will have any problems if you got the lights and kept white bulbs or HIDs in them since you can't see amber lights when the headlights are on... but then again the new Audi R8 lights are that way from the factory... but as for legal I would say they are...

I changed all my exterior lights to LEDs. Even changed the bulbs out on the license plate lights and the running boards. The brake lights and my third brake lights are LEDs, all purchased on E-Bay! The only modification I had to do was use the Dremel tool to cut a small metal piece that acted like a small brace on the stock taillights. My truck looks pretty unique now driving down the road!
