To have all 6 lights on at the same time, you need to run a relay inline with the foglights and low beams. Basically, the foglights will be on whenever the low beams are on.

Well, the inner ones are made to be high beams. So yes it will blind people. There's really no way around this unless you retrofit a quad projector setup...which is a lot of work.

when you retrofit are you messing up the auto adjustments on the HID headlights? I have HID's already the stock ones. But i really like the M45 bullet type headlights. Is there a way to make the auto levelling work?

Has Anyone Put An Hid Kit In The High Beam? I Have Had Triubl Getting It To Power Up And Had To Run A Relay...i Think It Is Because The Daytime Running Lights Somehow Lower The Wattage Going To The 9005 Bulbs In The Hi-beam Location Creating A Wak Dim Light!! I Want Hid All The Way Across. I Was Thinking Of Fitting A Metal Hood Over The 9005 Bulb Itself(like An H4) To Keep It From Aiming So High And Blinding Oncomers.
What Do You Guys Think?
