Well, I don't have any pics like that and I also don't have high beams. But I am curious to see how this turns out...

I have a Phillips 5000K kit and I get high-beamed all the time because I have the beam setting aimed halfway between low beam and high beam since I can't actually have high beams. There is little glare though. Why do you ask this question?

No offense, but that is a bad picture. Even the lights on the building behind the car look like headlights!

here are some pics i took yesterday to see what my new hid fogs look like. Im using 6000k headlights and 3000k foglights. I got mine re-aimed and I noticed ppl dont highbeam me. they actually turn down there lights, so they seem to be decent to other drivers at this moment.



this current angle is from my chevy blazer bumper



same angle from the last picture only at night



a more distant pic



just another random pic

they look pretty good. they give a real sharp line in color compared to the 6000k i got. i only would use them in bad weather because having the hid in the headlights gives me enough lite at nite to drive safely. i cant wait to see how the work in fog or in bad weather to be honest. installation isnt too bad, takes me a lil longer because i hook everything up to a relay.

headlights installation is basically like switching out bulbs. to reach the fogs you have to reomove the headlights assembly and reach down to get to the fog light assembly.

they dont usually come with kits. its basically wires all the HID stuff to your battery so you dont burn your expensive electric stuff in the car. the relay then does taps your headlights so when you turn on your switch in the car it tells the relay to get power from the battery.

so where would i go about finding this relay, and would i need 1 or 2 of them for both sets of HID, and finally, how easy is it to set up this relay?

This is closer than 25 feet but it is the best I have. The left side is a 6500k HID and the right is stock.

aren't you NOT supposed to do that because it makes one HID brighter than the other?
