Can someone confirm before I order some HIDs.

Are they H1??? Is that all there is to it?

What are we meant to do with the "high beam" globes onces we change to HIDs??

H1 for low beams and high beams

all the globes are H1 design

the HID is to replace the standard OEM halogen globes, you have a choice of doing the low and the high beams or just the low beams. Only reason y don't want to do the high beams is to save money.. and its not very often you need your high beam anyways, so save yourself the extra $$$

As for the globes being replaced, save them... just in case you ever need to go back to OEM

hope that helps

sorry, i meant that people usually only just doing the low beams... as in leave the high beams standard halogen globes.
and i think its illegal not to have high beam globes as well, but then again, having aftermarket HID are also illegal...

If you have 6000+K HID, You won't be able to see clearly in RAIN, therefore yellow is needed to penetrate through the rain!...
