yeah the dc2rs have seperate housings.

Its true that on my car i'll lose the high beams. that sucks.
Although i guess i could just adjust/focus my low hids abit higher but not too high so that i wouldnt need my high beams?

Don't do that, the glare would be sooo strong it's not even remotely safe.

Sorry forgot to mention that if i were to focus the beams up abit i'd move them abit to the left aswell. I dont think i'll do it though.

As for the kit im getting its only the low beams...got it for 99$ off from dude in hong kong.
