Are you referring to the high beam lamps?

just to be clear as well, if it's the high beam (the center bulb in the high beam housing), then you can get any super white and i think they will work ok

but if you are talking about the small bulb towards the bottom of the high beam housing, then it's a different story. i have the polarg m4

The Polarg M4 isn't for low beam, since you already stated you have HID lows. The M4 is for the small light inside the high beam reflector unit, usually referred to as a parking light. They come on whenever your lows are on or if you have set your parking lights.

I "borrowed" Cliff's car for this one, thanks man!

The BLUE arrow points to the High Beam reflector housing, utlizes a 9005 halogen.

The RED arrow points to the Parking Light wedge bulb inside the High Beam reflector housing, utlizes a 194/168 bulb, Polarg M4 would be ideal here.

The GREEN arrow points to the Low Beam reflector housing, where you stated you had HID.

The ORANGE arrow points to the Fog Lamps, they utilize 9006 halogen but can be converted to HID easily.

Hope this helps if you have any other questions please ask.

after searching around i think i cant convert it to hid... if this is true then my next question will be :

is it possible to replace my low beam factory hid with a new hid kit and transfer the factory kit to my high beam with changing the bulbs of course....??

can it be done and is it easy....??
