Lookin nice I won't mave any mods up till I rebuild my es in the spring but its prob gonna be a monotone paintjob and a HID setup. Need to figure out whether to do OEM or pay for a retrofited one since I have to time and skill to retrofit. Oh and speaking of MODS does anyone know if the OEM hid is HID on both high and low beams?

Only on the low beams. High beams are halogen and double as the DRL's.

Those are Bi Xenons from what I recall. Its just one projector that moves up and down. So for example when your low beams are ON, the projector is allowing light to come towards the bottom, but when you turn your high beams ON it allows more light to come out and up.

Bi-xenon projectors have a movable cut off shield. When you have the lows on, the shield is stationary in the middle of the projector between the bulb and the actual lens. This is so you project light only high enough to light up the road and not blind oncoming traffic. When the high beam is used, a motor lowers the cutoff shield and allows all of the light emitted from the HID bulb to be cast out in front of the car. Zero cut off line.
