It would be a bad idea if you're turning them on and off constantly... only useful if you drive with highbeams on for extended periods of time without turning them off.

 

yeah yeah I knew that.... maybe I should put the wine away now

 

Why is that? The new TL has a high and low HID as well as a few Audi's.

 

And BTW your right that kid "Andy" was a tool

 

The FIZZ s2000 kid was a loser......I asked him if he was with us when I walked in and he gave me a smirk and said hell no......f*ck fizz....

As far as HID's go, I have had extensive experienence with HID's on many cars, in all color temps, in all applications. Having said that.....if you want to be PIMP, then go ahead and throw HID's in the highbeams. However, for functuonality purposes, HID high beams will be A LOT dimmer than the stock Halogens. To me, high beams ESPECIALLY in our cars are needed for safety, and dimmer highbeams are definetely not safe.....just my .02

 

from what I've read about HID's, you can't turn them on and off too rapidly without having ALOT of voltage going to them to turn them on..

the way the Bi Xenon works I think, a motor moves the shield out of the way to make your high beam..

 

You are correct on both counts. BI XENONS are just a gimmick for marketing. Its just a cap that caps off the top of the beam, and when you click the highbeam switch, the cap moves revealing the rest of the beam. HIDs also require MASSIVE voltage to turn on, so flashing them is a bad idea. (I never highbeam unless my HIDs are on, otherwise they flash and that kills the bulb)

 

And this is the reason I said its not a good idea! Turning them on and off constantly is very bad.

Our stock highbeams are actually very bright... ever thought about just trying to find some super white bulbs?

 

I agree 110%. I can't count how many times I've had people high beam ME, b/c they think I have my brights on. I have some PIA light mounted in the front.
