is there any way to get our high beams remotely like those on the 2008 Audi TT, where the high beam is a flap that opens up to release more of the HIDS.

does that make sense on how i worded it?

Isnt that called bi xenon?

If you have the money, someone has the time, but short answer would be no.


Something very custom and fabricated would be the only option I think

Those are bi-xenon. I had them on my '05 TL.

Being mechanized, I don't think you ca get bi-xenons in the S. However, the reason we have halogens as high beams is because high beams need to be instant on according to the Fed Gov't - this is why only cars that adjust the beam pattern of the already-on lights have them.

Here's a question - could you put a set of HIDs in the high beam slots? No one checks after the car rolls off the lot.

IF you have enough money, it could be done. Id be worried about frying the light harness though.

that is a good question aobu the hids in the high beam spot.

anyone know who makes very blue halogen lights?

amik

Almost every bulb manufacturer. That said, they are for show and look ridiculous IMO. High beams need to throw and give you good color representation. Some of the blue halogens are in fact worse performers and dangerous. Don't buy anything that has blue glass.

He discusses the gimmiky blue bulbs that underperform and also some more reputable bulbs like (Don't confuse Osram Silver Star level with Sylvania Silver Star)

Yes, you could have them built to your liking or build them yourself. But as MattFeet said, it will cost a tad of money. What could be done is retrofitting a set of TL or FX35 projectors into the high beam reflectors. Then make a shroud (bezel) over the projector area to look nice and clean. Build a bi-xenon wire harness with relays and fuses. You are done. Pretty simple (if you have done it a few times).





Any other questions or pictures, let me know. I also have a video on Youtube with the Jeep Grand Cherokee's (the bottom picture) dual bi-xenon headlights in action if you wanted to see what it looked like.

You can also just install a set of HID's. But you will not have the "flicker" effect when turning on your highs to flash people, but rather a slow warm-up time before they come to their full brightness.

Good luck OP.

from my experience with HID's the flicker to warm up is not a big deal unless your goal is to blind people by flashing. You should be albe to buy any 10k or lower HID kit with the correct bulb with no heat/housing issues at all.
i like your thinking, HID's are WAY better in my opinion

what all goes into Building a bi-xenon wire harness with relays and fuses. You are done. and retrofitting as i have never done it
