blackbd1 Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 since it is widely known that the low beam is in the high socket and the high beam is in the low socket, if you were going to install only one HID would it make more sense to install it in the lower socket w/ the low beam power to it??

Mikey Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Uh, what would that offer you? If you had your "low beams" on during the day, you'd burn the retinas out of everyone in front of you. That just wouldn't be I've only got one HID right now. It's in the top, with the low connected (as per normal operation). So I've got my HID on all the time. It's been 3 years with no problem.

airborneXX Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I have HID in the low beam and a modulator on the high beam with a SilverStar bulb. People see me coming! Some still pull out though :icon_wall: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackmax Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Have mine on both. I live out in the sticks, no street lights for 10 miles of my commute, and didn't have any idea how good the HIDs were untill I got them. I don't even bother to change from a dark tinted shield anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K9XX Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Both are HID for me. I'm scared of the dark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top socket IS the low beam. The bottom socket IS the high beam. No matter how you have the wiring behind the bulbs.....if the bottom light is on.....you are blinding people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverbird2 Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 The wiring makes no difference. it is the bulb palcement. The only thing the wiring does is designate what the switch operates (high or low) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironmike Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 ...and don't forget that the reflector design is specific for High & Low beam light dispersion... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
