Later on I went to a local shop down here who sells the kits at a pretty darn good price (HID Pro). They took care of my car from top to bottom, installation and everything. But as they went along, me being a picky person. I had to follow through and make sure I knew what was going on my car piece by piece. I got all the components on MY car for only$130. This was only because I ordered 6+ kits in one day, i believe it was a pretty hefty bill that day, 3 yr warranty, digital ballasts too.

P.S. I forgot to say thank you M K S for hte compliments

That's why I figured out the next best thing.... Or should I say the much better thing lol.

here is how it works (pics as promised)


This first photo is with the hi-beams and the low-beams on.... It's when i pull the lever back.


This second photo is when I turn on the car, no low-beams, no hi-beams, just DRLs on.


This photo is the low-beams on ONLY, (the middle hi-beams shut off).


The reason why i went with this setup is because it's efficient and it works just fine. When you're driving at night the lights deactivate and you won't blinde people. If you're driving during the day, the hi-beams are activated, but it's not enough to bother anyone.... I mean, you could look straight into the light if you wish and it won't do much for your eyes compared to the sunny day outside.

Hope this helps explain things to everyone. If anyone's interested how I got this working (as it's not as easy as plugging in your freshly purchased HID kit) I can make a write-up in a new thread for reference for everyone.

We need to see some more pics of your car...... it looks a lot like mine from the front - although I have just the boring OEM lighting

I love that look, and I love the fact that unlike the LEDs you can have you DRL AND your High beams! A writeup with some part numbers would be very welcomed.

BTW: Apologies to OP for the thread hijack!

There really isn't a fire-up lag as per say, but more of a relay going (okay, he switched it on, time to get to work!). I'll make a write up sometime this week, basically if you include all the hardware needed, it's all P-n-P. No modifications, no cutting. Just wiring between the lights, ballast, relays, caps, and battery.

Sounds cool, like you I really want the non-yellow DRLs but would hate to lose my highbeam function... If you can put it all together, I would be happy to purchase the "whole kit" from you... How long have you had these and how often do you use your highbeams? Thanks again.
