HID questions

Ok so i searched but couldnt come up with any answers or some vage answers, so the guys running HID's in stock headlights do you have to get a special hid kit so you still have high/low beams or something like that. and can you actually buy hid kits that fit stock lights that have the paint to simulate the cut off. i know there not as good as hids adn projectors but are they better than stock. please no flaming lol im not actualy going to go this root. but ive been wondering about this stuff and couldnt find any good answers. thanks

if you want the cut off you need to get projectors and if you still want highbeams you need to get the BiXeon kit which is gonna run you around 300 bucks

agreed i dont think its possible to do not with the 9007 bulbs we have, there are some that do but im 100% sure they wont fit in our stock housings if you want the cut off you will have to upgrade to projectors but i say **** the cut off if you aim you headlights right you wont bother anyone

Yes they do I believe....

And the light difference between halogen bulbs and hid's are a major difference. Just depends on what kelvin you get. If you go to high on the kelvin scale the less light output there is going to be.
