[QUOTE="Scuderia, post: 454714, member: 3991"] Sorry, it should read as "Retrofit" HID are normally designed for cars with Projector headlights i.e Waja Most manufacturers use Projector headlights for low beam ( normally H1 or H7 ) and they have a separate Hi Beam. If you utilise eg H4 HID which incorporate both the Hi and Lo beam - you will have problems esp when you try to Hi Beam. I believe these H4 retrofitted HIDs uses a vacumm operated reflector for Hi Beam... and sadly dont work very well. Retrofitting it is also next to impossible to get the optimal focal point as compard to your standard factory fitted halogen even, therefore making driving in the rain a real pain too. "Its like why MagLite sells .. your get focused light for distance and clarity" [/QUOTE]
